Hello,
jtwrace, the "rear spikes" are simply a couple of rubber cubes usually used to prevent wall impacts when opens the door. With this solution I incline the Summit toward the listener ( this is me
) so the focus and the detail are increased notably, in my opinion.
Pcar928fan, I didn't own a Pre, the Emitter is an integrated amplifier, take a nearer look:
There's a black box I brought on IKEA to hide the cables behind and to keep some discs.
[email protected], recently I moved to another house, a very much pretty one and with a larger listening room. All the house is soundproof, so the background noise is small, I can listen perfectly at 1 position of the volume level (up to 72).
twich54, I know your comment about the position of the p5 is true, but I hardly listen to it, now I'm a CD man. I only use it to record in a CD-R some 45s or some of the Mosaic Boxsets edited only in vinyl ... the other sources are a multiformat player, a modified for NON Oversamplig player, and a NOS tubes output player.
tonyc, my english isn't good enough to do a review. Anyway, I don't think there are big differences between solid state amplifiers, I simply looked for the most powerful amplifier I could afforded (I'm taking about watts, damping factor, current delivery, etc). The feel with the ASR Emitter II and the Summits is a total sensation of effortlessly sound at any volume level.
Thanks all for your comments.
Aser.
