Sanders ESL Power Amp & Mono blocks

Have you made any comparisons with the newer Sanders Magtech Mono Amps? And how do they sound compared with Gryphon, Plinius SA Reference, Bedini (803, etc)?

I intend to buy the Magtech Monos for my Shahinian Diapason speakers, Klyne 7 and Shindo Aurieges preamps, and they should outperform my two Bedini BA-803 in biamping. Will they do it, what do you think?

Hi Breezer,

I am sure Magtech are fine amp, however, I owned Diapason speakers for a number of years and the best results I obtained with Spectron Musician III. I know a few more Daiaposon owners who use Spectron amp and who are pretty happy with the combo. One of them wanted to send this amp to Dick Shahinian for trial but I don;t know if he did.

Thanks, Simontju! But have any of these Spectron user could try a Sanders ESL or Magtech amp?

I have been a music lover/audiiophile longer that I can believe and I have had many fine amplifiers over the years, but I can honestly say that the combination of the Magtech power amp and the Sanders Slim Linestage preamp has given me the best sound that I have ever had. Associated equipment: John Dunlavys Duntech Sovereign loudspeaker that I have owned for 24 years. Bel Canto Dac-3, VPI Classic turntable with Ortofon cartridge and a computer based digital CD system. I am truly a happy audiophile. Any of you folks out there that own Planar, Electrostatic speakers or dynamic speakers that need lots of power (and most speakers need lots more power than you realize) should try to audition the Sanders gear. FWIW, I personally think that the Sanders equipment might just be one of the best kept secrets in the audio world.

"But have any of these Spectron user could try a Sanders ESL or Magtech amp? "

I am sure they could but I personally am aware of only single A/B comparison which is anectodal result.

Spectron amp can be taken for 30 days home trial and I believe Sanders amplifiers too.

Good Luck
