Spectron Audio Out Of Business?

Good Luck Sodapop with contacting Manh.  A few months ago I actually drove to his house and knocked at his door.  I did this after many attempts at contact by email and phone.  He has a camera outside his door so I decided to ring the doorbell and knock until someone answered. (There were a couple of vehicles in the driveway and it was a Saturday.) There is a small window (probably bathroom) to the right of the front door.  Finally someone answered through this window and it was his wife Cindy.  She ended up being very nice. She said he no longer does any servicing and is working for the military.  She said he has secret clearance and can't discuss anything with anyone and travels extensively.  There are no parts or power modules available to purchase.  I told her that he (Manh) could probably arrange with an independent repair facility to repair Spectron amps and just act as a consultant so that all the owners of Spectron amps would have more than paperweights.  She said she would let Manh know my ideas but I doubt he will act on it.  I believe his power modules were made by a Chinese company to their specs or at least the boards were made by them.  Spectron could have then added their "special" parts which are the problem for repairs.  The whole situation is very sad considering the technology that John Ulrick developed and patented.  I also mentioned to Cindy that Manh should look into selling the patents and designs to someone or some amplifier company.  Since he did not do this makes me think that some of the technology might be used now by the military if Cindy's story is correct. .  At least to my mind it is the only explanation that makes any sense.  I know that John Ulrick manufactured some incredibly powerful subwoofers with what I think were 8000w/ch amps using his technology for a special contract before he passed. Also one other note I emailed Jeff Wells who I believe was sales manager at one time and he said that John was very secretive with his designs and he doubts that anyone else would have any service manuals or schematics available anywhere. I am still using his amps and I am also looking for Spectron Musician amps with at least 1-channel working.  I also am looking for Premiere amps with at least one of the modules working.  Thanks, Bob (geordidog).

@geordidog  Bob,  Thank you for running over to Manh's place.  I almost went to work for John and wish that I had back then in 2009. I would have preserved his legacy.   I remember he was working on that 8000w design.  Maybe Manh is using it to launch missiles, lol.  I have a near flawless black MIII MKII and one channel works perfectly.  Paired with another amp with 1 ch working, and the other disabled it would be an incredible amp because each 1 ch power module would have it's own discreet transformer.  So... does anyone out there want to buy my amp?  or sell me their 1ch MIII MKII?  maybe we can also sell the power modules of the channel that is not functioning for parts to repair other owners amps.  I am open to all suggestions.  I live in Orange County CA

I own 2 musician 3 Mk2 amps - ran them in mono, both have been boxed up for a couple years - now running Theta Prometheus monos.  Obviously, can’t get anything near what I paid for them and am willing to sell both at steep discounts.  

I may be interested in buying 1 of your amps Sophie to make mine work, 

Would like to pick up this conversation again. I had been a very happy owner of the Spectron Musician III Mk2 SE till one channel died on me a few weeks ago. Looks like it is impossible to have the amp repaired and even the used ones are very hard to find nowadays.  For replacement, I wonder if the current generation of Class D amps are just as good or better, e.g. Purifi 1ET7040SA  or GaN FET based amps. Any thoughts?
