Did you ever think that the "digital" Spectron amps, although very clean and detailed, are just not able to recreate the natural bloom of an instrument because of their digital nature? I know the good digital amps I've heard, and I've heard good and bad, can sound very nice, but they don't sound natural to me either,and I doubt that I could live with one for very long. Too analytical for my taste's, though they seem to be getting better as manufacturers improve the technology.
I always attributed good bloom to good room treatments and speaker placement. But since the only thing you changed was the amp then I assume your room is set up to allow the bllom to radiate, if it is there. It could also be partially a simple cable mismatch with the Spectron, or a power conditioning problem. But I suspect that it's more in the nature of the 2 amps.
