"Well, I'm thinking that instantaneous power is interesting to know, but at what purpose?"
Let me quote from Spectron Web Site again as its very educational, for me at least:
========================================
Stereo Times reviews Spectron Musician III SE
"Power and Finesse" by Donald Shaulis
"I have never heard Moussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain/Pictures at an Exhibition [Telarc B000003CSH] before. Oh, I have owned the CD for years but I never really heard it before. The Spectron presented the softer passages with such inner detail they became seductive but the real surprise came in the crescendos. The peaks reached were a revelation. It wasnt that the Spectron could play loud, it was that I wanted the music louder. For the first time the crescendos were reproduced with full fury but no smearing or harsh edge that demanded the volume be reduced. Now, after many years, I finally get this fine recording..."
====================================================
I am not professional reviewer and I can't say it so eloquently.
Good Luck with your choices.
