I have had so many amps, SS and tube, but nothing compares to the finesse, transparency, flow, musicality, detail, dynamics and life-like sound of the new Spectron amps. If you have one (or 2) of these in your system, you will never think about upgrading your power amps again, period. Control, power, quiet background and zero distortion with a complete lack of haze are a bonus. Oh, and by the way, you can call Spectron up and have a really meaningful discussion with the designer and management as well, not something to be dimissed lightly.
Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?
I am currently on the hunt for a pair of amplifiers that have massive peak power capability with excellent micro dynamics and neutral presentation. I am driving a pair of Martin Logan Statement E2's
The Spectron Musician has been reviewed exceptionally well everywhere I looked and seems to fit the bill but I just can't get over 25 years of snobbery telling me to avoid switching amps because linear amps just sound better and, hey, the name on the faceplate ain't Krell or Mark Levinson!
Can I PLEASE get a few people with experience listening to these amps tell me why I should or shouldn't buy them?
I desperately want to buy a pair of the BAT VK-600SE's since I own mostly all BAT equipment but to produce, say, 110db peaks one would comfortably need several thousands watts of power in the bucket to meet the challenge. I don't think the BAT amps have that under the hood.
Advice?
