Sanders Magtech versus Spectron Musician 3 Mk2

I have the 3.7i with the Sanders Magtech and an Aesthetix Calypso Signature and the highs are not shrill at all. I’m not running the resistors at all but am using Empirical Audio jumpers. I’m also using GiK Q7D diffusers and Monster Bass Traps with range limiters and scatter plates. My room is quite large (35’x15’x10’).

I did have shrillness in the upper registers when I was using the stock jumpers, Odyssey Kismet in Stratos, and no room treatments, but with each addition (first the Empirical Audio jumpers, then the GiK room treatments, and finally the Sanders Magtech), the shrillness decreased.  The Odyssey monos especially strained at higher volumes (75db-90db).

I’m actually picking up a Spectron Musician III mk2 with all of the upgrades tomorrow and will be able to directly compare to the Magtech.

Please let us know how the Spectron compares

Unfortunately, the Spectron has a channel imbalance issue.

I'm sorry to hear that.  I've heard these amps, they are quite good.  I've seen them work in a system for 7 years without a problem.  Hope the fix is minor.  I've always been curious of Magtech vs Spectron.

One other user on this site said that they pretty much sounded the same with his Maggies.
