Initial impressions for the Spectron from a few days ago are that it's not as refined or transparent as the Magtech, and it sounds a little edgier. However, I need to allow it to power up for longer. That was just an initial back-and-forth test from the Magtech to the Spectron and back to the Magtech.
Spectron changed out the left channel board, so it may require break-in again, which I've heard is lengthy.
Switched out the amps again today. Played music through the Spectron for a little over an hour. There's a slight amount of noise when there's no sound playing but you have to have your ear fairly close to the tweeter to hear it. The Magtech is definitely quieter. Also, the Spectron seems to have some interference issue; I would intermittently hear static through the right channel. It may be related to my cell phone's activity. I still think the Magtech sounds more natural, but the Spectron may throw a slightly deeper soundstage and may have slightly better imaging.
