Spectron Musician III Signature Power Amplifier
The Spectron Musician III amplifier has become something of a legend in its own time. Virtually without exception, all who hear the Spectron are immediately enamored with its purity and refinement.
Though exceedingly powerful, the Musician III Signature has none of the negative tendencies of other megawatt monsters. The amplifier is smooth and refined and able to reveal subtle detail like few others.
The evolution from the Musician to the Musician II, Musician III and now the Musician III Signature has been a fun one to watch, or hear, as the case may be. Without a doubt, the Musician II is certainly one of the World’s great amplifiers, regardless of genre.
"I now consider the Musician III the most musically accurate and well balanced solid-state amplifier I have reviewed to date. Furthermore, only a small handful of tube amplifiers come close to equaling its musicality. Its audible subtlety, along with massive power and headroom, fine-grained articulation of musical detail, and sheer speed add up to a very special instrument for reproducing music of every kind. This remarkable amplifier is a consummate bargain that belongs on the must-hear short list of every serious audiophile." —Wayne Donnelly
A Matter of Balance Review by Greg Weaver: "Using the latest realization of John Ulrick's near quarter century dream has brought me substantially closer to the magic of the music I love so dearly. This is the second milestone product I've had the pleasure of reviewing this year… The Spectron Musician II is a remarkable achievement, truly pushing the state of the art.
I don't know of a single amplifier, at any price, that would embarrass the Spectron Musician II. It has more successfully achieved that delicate balance between brute force and artistic expression than any amplifier I've had the pleasure of hearing. Run, don't walk, to your nearest Spectron dealer and hear what you've been missing."
"Anyone looking for powerful yet highly refined amplification would be foolish to ignore the Spectron Musician III. I believe it will serve me well as a standard against which to measure other amplifiers. So I'm keeping this one. Superior audio indeed!" Wayne Donnelly, Enjoy The Music, Superior Audio
"Tonally, the Musician III is as neutral as they come—smooth across the octaves, and with top-notch interconnects and a good warm-up, not a whiff of spotlighting in the upper octaves. Treble is pristine and displays none of the whitish grain or transient blur that plagues many amps, Class D or otherwise. I have to admit that regardless of 'Class' the Spectron Musician III punched my time clock like few other amps I've heard." The Absolute Sound
