I think Spectron and this amp are two different beasts and its very difficult to compare. ASR has battery based driver stage while Spectron's entire power suppies are highly regulated. ASR retailed for $24k in 2006, Spectron, with all upgrades, $10k now ( they have promotion now). Spectron at least twice more powerful which could be vital in some speakers and has no effect in others... OP did not indicated the speakers he intend to use with amplifier, nor budget....
