Spectron Releases New Flagship Amplifier
May 27th, 2008 — By Charlie Robb
May 27 - Spectron Audio has recently announced the release of their new flagship switching power amplifier, the Musician III Signature Edition Mk. 2. The Musician III Signature Edition Mk. 2 is the latest version of the acclaimed Musician III, to which The Absolute Sound gave an Editor’s Choice Award in 2007.
This new model has made several notable upgrades over the previous version, including new power switching modules, new capacitors in the reconstruction filter, and new hook-up wire.
John Ulrick, Spectron’s founder, CEO, and chief designer, notes that these amplifiers are ideally suited as fully balanced monoblock amplifiers, which can deliver a very robust 7000 watts of power for up to 500ms over the pair.
A pair of the Musician III Signature Edition Mk. 2 amplifiers won’t come cheap at $14,390 for the pair ($7,195 each). Luckily, this is only a modest price increase over the $6,495 Musician III, their original model.
Spectron Audio is also giving owners of the original Musician IIIs the opportunity to upgrade to the Signature Edition Mk. 2s for only $695 plus the cost of shipping to the factory and back.
The Spectron Audio Signature Edition Mk. 2 is available for purchase now for the aforementioned price.
