A Customer Trade-up to Merrill Audio VERITAS Monoblocks.
$3,500 obo
A mint condition upgraded Spectron amp with 600 watts of power. The Bybee Golden Goddess upgrades alone are $1,500. Comes with V-Cap upgrades also.
The Musician III is a switching amplifier with traditional transformer-based power supplies. 100 capacitors store enough energy to generate 3500 watts of peak power over extraordinery 500 msec. Fastest in the world feedback allows this amplifier to be stable up to 0.1 Ohm load. Yet, cool running, weighting only 52 lbs and drawing (when no signal present) only 40 watts! Each amp can work as single ended stereo (with balanced inputs) or fully balanced monoblock.

This amplifier was extensively reviewed and received multiple awards e.g. Spectron/Audio Analyses Room was declared "BEST SOUND OF THE SHOW" CES 2009, Las Vegas NV - see TAS, May 2009, p. 52.
"....[Spectron] have a crystalline purity in the reproduction of every voice and instrument that sounds more to me like the essence of live, unamplified music -- which I attend, on average, more than once a week year-round-- than any other amplifier, at any price, based on any technology, that I have ever heard"
- Wayne Donnelly, Blue Ribbon Award Citation, Enjoy The Music 2009.
" Recently, a friend of mine bought a new car - a Bentley Continental GT.....engine was silent and silky smooth and provided the sensation of taking off in 747... That is how I would describe listening to the Spectrons; quiet and luxurious with no sense of effort at any volume level... More than most other amps, the Spectrons allow you to feel the music (not the sound) as well as hear it... Like the Bentley, you don't think to yourself, "Wow! This is powerful!", you are not conscious of the power at all. You are conscious of the music in all its pristine glory without much of a perception of electronics at all; the music just is..."
- James L. Darby, Stereo Mojo September 2009
