Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear?

"XXX brand is 'fast' and that makes it better" is just so much marketing hype. I find that threads like this have little to do with listening to music and more to do with wanting to fall in love with gear based on notions that some company puts forth to grab potential buyers. You plant an idea in someone's head, some meaningful percentage of folks will perceive that artifact due to the power of suggestion.

Listen for the similarity, or lack thereof, to real music and not to claims, features, specs, et al. You'll be much happier and less frustrated, if happiness with your system is the goal. Course, some folks are drawn to a perpetual state of stress.....

Audiolabyrinth, have you considered that it might just be the level of distortion you don't like when you hear Spectral, and not that it's "fast"? Fast or not, who cares about speed if a product just does not sound like music, no matter what the product is? Course, I have JBL 67000, maybe they are just not FAST enough to showhow great those fast amps sound!
