As you already probably know, Albert S. loves the amp and does use it to voice some of his speakers. That being said, it is a very clean and clear sounding amp but I felt it lacked depth compared to some of the other SS amps. It is not a tube amp and will not sound like the tube amps you have mentioned. I have not found a SS amp that does the tube sound.
Spectron Musician II vs. "Big" Tube Amps
I'm currently looking for a pair of higher powered tube monoblocks (like VTL 450 Sigs or Manley Neo Classic 250s). Some good folks from another thread here at A-gon have brought the Spectron Musician amp to my attention.
Has anybody compared one of these big tube amps to the Spectron? Results? I'm after the naturalness, midrange, and analog sound of tubes. I really like the option of being able to run in both tetrode and triode modes to match my mood.
Associated equipment: BAT tube preamp and tube Cd player, Von Schweikert VR4-III HSE (I know these were voiced using the Spectron amp).
Thanks for any guidance or recommendations!
