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?

Bostonbean, what speakers are you using with these. I have read the Rex is suppose to be a really nice max-up what are you using currently.
Hi Zybar, is this a second system or did you replace your Vandy 5A's with these. You were using a Moscode amp at one time also right. Look foward to your thoughts but I have heard and read from others mono blocks are the way to go and a substantial leap sonic wise above using a single amp.

Bostonbean, yep I will be the first to admit you got me scratching my head but hey as long as you are enjoying listening to music in the end that's what is all about.
Zybar,

yes I'm sure you would enjoy being able to switch back and forth. I rally enjoyed doing that when I had my designated room set-up, I would switch electronics back and forth including cables etc.

Did you try the new Moscode? why did you sell yours.

Look forward to your thoughts.
Zybar,

look foward to reading what your thoughts were of the Spectron's.

Regarding OTL amps have you ever had the chance to listen to Joule product, if so any opinion.
