Do Spectron Amps have faulty switching modulators?

Audiofeil,
Prudent? Definitely not without also checking with other users.
How often does a manufacturer NOT come clean on a systemic issue until his back is against the wall - think of all the auto recalls for a few examples. And then ONLY MAYBE!
I personally know of an audio mfr that was replacing power harnesses like crazy on one of their products years ago but never did they "admit" to a problem.
OTOH, a "former" dealer is hardly the definitive voice since most of the time the decision to drop a line (or, in this case, being dropped) has NOTHING to do with sound quality, design quality or build quality.
So a prudent audiophile should check all avenues (users, mfr. and dealers (past (with a BIG grain of salt) and present) before coming to a conclusion.

As an aside, I remember retail dealers who dropped the Von Schweikert speaker line after they began to sell direct. In a similar way they trashed the speakers and their designer. Funny how the internet has allowed the spread of "truth". Not saying that happened here but its hard to get any truth out of the internet these days, even here.

The Spectron website has been down for the past 2 minutes! I sent them an email 5 minutes ago and NO RESPONSE!!! I called 30 seconds ago AND GOT THE ANSWERING MACHINE!!!!! ARE THEY STILL IN BUSINESS!?!?!? WILL ALL SPECTRON AMPS EXPLODE TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT!?!?!?!?!? ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

I would ask if anybody knows of any problems with Spectron amplifiers - instead of spreading rumors but that's just me.

Hi Joe.
Totally agree but in this case the OP's behavior is back asswards i.e. the concerns are addressed after the order is placed.

Shouldn't these questions, concerns, issues, etc. be reviewed prior to placing the order?

I'm just not a big proponent of manufacturers getting called out on what might very well be heresay. The forums are full of this nonsense and serve no purpose IMO.
