Having moved to the EU I have sold my ASR Emitter II due to it being a 120 v model. I was very happy with it It replaced my blown Spectral DMA200.
I now narrowed the choice in my price range with the following four options in my replacement/update phase. I can only go by what I have read online so I am looking for any thoughts. The room is 17ft W x 29ft. L x 9ft.H. I will keep my speakers for now ( but later upgrade may be to Legacy Valor. I listen to a variety of music enjoying everything from delicate female vocals to the hardest kicking rock, prog, industrial, and church organ and spooky holographic imaging sought after. My speakers are B&W 801 series II with series III tweeters and Van Alstyne single run mod. Taralabs Omega Onyx speaker cable and Zero rca.


Options<

System 1
ASI Grand Mono paired with T + A DSV3100HV and PDT3100HV

System 2
ASI Grand Mono paired with Spectral DMC10 linestage (from SDR1000( and T + A MP3100HV or keep my Bow ZZ8 and buy a separate streamer

System 3
Audionet Humboldt paired with T + A MP3100HV or keep BowZZ8 and buy separate streamer

System 4
T + A M10HV paired with T + A DSV3100HV and PDT3100HV .
or keep BowZZ8 and Spectral pre and buy separate streamer.

Comments on the most cost effective combo would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Best,,,
