I read somewhere (years ago) that they don't loan out anything for review. And just work with their dealers for sales and promotion.

I first heard Spectral driving Dave Wilson's biggies in a Hong Kong ballroom. "What have I been missing!?" Eric Clapton Unplugged: 'He's over there, I can point to him, and just a bit back.'
You ask and Spectral owners, they will say 'wide, wide, sound stage -- even beyond the speaker edges if you can believe that; and you will if you close your eyes and point to the outer edge.

So that -- AND fast. Fast? Yes, when they say that the soul of the music is in the midband, well that's only half. The real tonality depends on the initial attack of a note. No, really. Maybe that's why we prefer MC cartridges, faster rise time. Whatever, after living with a Spectral then hearing another amp, a difference you WILL notice is 'speed.' And miss it. Naim are big on this too. Maybe that is what PRaT is about.

Why do you not see much Spectral gear for sale? Same as why not many Quad ELS -- keepers.
