Spectral audio today


Hi guys, been a Spectral fan in the early 90s but couldn't afford the gear at the time.I'm wondering how good are the latest Spectral pre-power compared to much more recent top SS brands like Gryphon, CH Precision, Dartzeel, Soulution, Audionet, Boulder, D'agostino, Burmester and so on.Is Spectral still competitive vs modern high end brands ?It is very difficult to audition Spectral gear as they have very little distribution now days.Thanks.

I had Spectral in my system years ago the sound was just ok.The build quality is just ok Pass is a much better amp at less money and the service on Spectral is just ok.The light went bad on the front of the unit and i had to get it replaced as it was not LED..I had the amp for about 6 months and got Pass which is a much better company with better sound.My friend has CH it sounds wonderful and another friend has the Dartzeel monos at over 150k they both sound wonderful however the Dartzeel on MAGICO M6 is some of the best sound i have ever heard.I am using now using the Audiaflight Stremento #4 which has a very open sound with great detail,stage,bass detail and deep soundstage with MAGICO.Yes i also had MIT cables and Avalon speakers with the Spectral.But this being said it is also individual taste and system compatibility as well that will determine the final verdict.Everybody stay safe and be well as this is more important then Audio.
Roxy54 pay no attention as i was not given a chance to answer.Stay well!!
D’Agostino is a wonderful sounding and great built amp that i would certainly recommend over Spectral for better build and sound quality and much better service.I had 2 Krell KSA50s with Maggie Tympani 1Ds even today these are wonderful sounding amps.Thanks be well!
sorry to hijack. Just received my M2 to replace focals and yes me verly verly happy.  Looking for that signature Krell sound that I’m getting from my 403Evo.  Any good suggestions on an amp to upgrade to. Thinking about solution 7 or 5 mono series. 
D'Agostino mono amps would be a better choice Solution is accurate but very dry sounding and very overpriced. D'Agostino has better stage,bass detail,and depth and is far more musical.Its your money good luck.
