Spectral/MIT


Why do so many people seem to hate this combination. I've rarely read more vindictive posts here on Audiogon compared to reports about other stuff. I listened to an all Spectral/MIT system ( 360 amp and 30 pre) the other day with big Sound Lab speakers and found it very musical and easy to listen to. No HIFI here, but a very easy, relaxed, but also, if needed, a highly dynamic presentation, coherent and well balanced. So what's up? Should I have my ears examined or the Spectral distractors go see a shrink?

I heard a Spectral/MIT/Avalon Eidelon system at Progressive Audio in Columbus, Ohio, and it was definitely the best system I have ever heard. Granted, I have only heard the Avalons once before, but the Spectral electronics seemed to be far more neutral, quick and balanced than the Krell electronics that I have also heard with the Avalons. If I could afford Spectral electronics, I would buy them myself, but you just can't replace one item at a time with Spectral. Since their amps, wires and preamps require the correct matching components, I guess I'll have to wait a few years. Oh, well...
