Advice on Spectral amps and preams wanted


Hello,

Can anyone advice me on Spectral amps and preamps?
I am interested in a DMA-150 S2 or DMA-180 S2. What is the sonic difference between both?
What is the best preamp to drive them? I am considering a DMC-15 or DMC-30S or maybe a DMC-20 S2.
What about the cables to use with these amps. Did anyone compare?
Thanks a lot for helping me building my system!

The only Spectral amp that can be used without a Spectral preamp is the 150 Studio Universal which is no longer manufactured. They are coming out with a new model the 160 Studio Universal but I'm not sure if it's available yet. I own the 150 Studio Universal and use it with a Spectral preamp but it is not necessary to use MIT cables between the preamp and the 150S. You still must use MIT speaker cables with all Spectral amps.
