Spectral DMA 200....Who Knows this amp?


There is a Spectral model DMA 200 ss amplifier operating in "pure" Class 'A' mode. Weight around 90lbs. Similar to the others in appearance, though it seems slightly larger. Was this an export model? I can only find sparse reference to it anywhere. Who can tell me more? Thanks, Colm

Actually Spectral's first amp was the Pure Class A DMA100,
then the DMA200. The DMA200 IMHO is their finest amp ever.
I've been using one since late 1980s on my Acoustat 2+2s,
it will handle them with absolutely no problem. With the DMA200 you do not need a Spectral preamp nor MIT cables, unlike their later models. The sound: the bass is stunningly accurate, the mids lucid, and the highs do not have a glaze to them unlike some other solidstate designs. It does not have a tube warmth, but it is not analytical as some think. MAybe the later models are somewhat analytical, but not this one. And a major consideration is service. Spectral knows their products and stands by them, no matter who owns how them or how old. Welcome to the Spectral family!!!
