Summary:
I can''t say enough to praise this amp! What a great product. I upgraded from a B&K 1430 (125 Watts/channel), and the difference was immediate and amazing: more bass, bigger soundstage, more "air" and "space" between instruments and vocalists. This, like all Spectral amps, is very fast and dynamic. Excellent product even though it has been discontinued. You can find a used one for half the original price - what a deal!

Weaknesses:
none that I''ve found

Summary:
Originally my McCormack DNA-1 was in need of repair, so I talked my local dealer into letting me borrow a used DMA-90 while the McCormack was being serviced. I had heard great things about Spectral, but I must admit that I was skeptical. I allowed the DMA-90 warm up for about an hour before I started to audition a few select CD's. Instantly, I was amazed. The Spectral has a transparency that is simply amazing. The detail blew me away as I had heard MANY things that had previously hidden by my McCormack. The Spectral is simply amazing and when I decided to buy it, it had to be one of the easiest decisions that I've ever made. What a great amp! I can't say enough to give this product justice! Now I understand why the wait list for Spectral products span weeks if not months!
