Hi Jeynewt,
A few days ago, I was able to audiotion again MBL 9008 but in my home, in my system (based on B&W802N) and for entire evening, and compare it again with Spectron Musician III Mk2 - monoblocks with Bybees and V-cap upgrades. My previous comparison was made when my Spectron was still stereo, SE and with no upgrades.
To my rather pleasant suprise Spectron won in almost each category. Most visible was its huge transperency. Next, the slam and tightness of the bass. Midrange - may be both were about the same but in highs I did not detected any grain in Spectron (as compared to 9008) - very, very extended and silky. May be you noticed it because you had stereo Musician III and previous generation - or was it Mk2?
At any rate - very interesting.
All The Best
Rafael
