Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?
TMB, Thanks for sharing your impressions of the mono-block setup. I highly value your opinion.I have a more modest setup, Pioneer receiver, Gallo 3.1's and the Spectron MKII with V-cap and Bybee upgrades. I am awed with what I get from the Spectro...

4 Spectron mono blocks with a BAT Rex and ML Statements. That will be some system. I'll bet Simon at Spectron will will work very closely with you to get you exactly what you need. 
Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?
I believe you can order the Spectron built for mono only so that you do not need to do anything outside the amp like y-cables or anything like that. talk to Simon for more info. As far as upgrades I see Rafael has weighed in but also check with Te...

The Spectrons do take some break-in time so when they first come out to the box you may not entirely like what you hear. But after 400-500 hours your will be re-listening to all of your lp's and cd's as if it were the first time. 
Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?
I do not have an ultra high end system like some of you other guys but the Spectron Musician III MK2 is part of it and I absolutely love it. Mono-block would be the ultimate along with all V-cap/Bybee upgrades. Don't know a thing about BAT amps bu...

I have seem the term "fast sound" in describing both speakers and electronic gear. What does this term mean? 
Spectron III SE vs. Signature III SE MK2
I agree with Dob. I'm just impatient. 
Revel Salon2 vs. B & W 802D vs. Wilson W.P.7?
Someone over in the AVS forum had problems with Lexicon gear and new Revel Studios and is now upgrading his gear. If you are looking at high end speakers make sure you will be driving them with the appropriate gear. 
Spectron III SE vs. Signature III SE MK2
I have had my new Spectron III SE MK2 for 2 weeks so it is still being broken in. After a rough 100-200 hours of break-in and 24/7 music playing the sound coming out of the amp now (around 300 hours) is, as the kids say, awesome, absolutely awesom...

While I agree that the SE MKII is superior the standard Musician III is still a very fine amplifier, I have had both, and in most cases it is all that one needs for listening to exceptional audio. The MKII is also more expensive (and by FAR!!!).

Outlier, I will really be looking forward to hearing how the Spectron matches up with the MBL's.Is the Spectron brand new? If so, I can tell you from personal experience that the first 100-150 hundred hours of a new Spectron can be cruel to your e... 
Gallos how good are they?
Good to see you have a sense of humor. 
Gallos how good are they?
Pedrillo: Gee, I'd love to get a pair of those MBL 116's. How much?Salesman: $21,000Pedrillo: (cough, cough) Do you have something more affordable.Salesman: How much do you have to spend?Pedrillo: About $3,000Salesman: How about these Gallo's?Too ... 
need pre amp suggestion
If I were you I would stick with a McIntosh pre to go with the amp. Best match. The 28 seems pretty ancient but you should be able to find a more up to date model used.As an aside, if those Gallo's are coming in new make sure you follow the manufa...

For 3,000 bucks you are not going to find better speakers IMHO.
