Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear?


(My 90's vintage still sounds good with very good (no -exceptional) isolation and conditioning. (Sound Application, Equitech & MIT). SPECTRAL claims faster today. OK. Mid 90's hot cars went 205-210, todays 210-220. Does it make any difference to the music?

Audiolabyrinth, have you considered that it might just be the level of distortion you don't like when you hear Spectral, and not that it's "fast"? Fast or not, who cares about speed if a product just does not sound like music, no matter what the product is? Course, I have JBL 67000, maybe they are just not FAST enough to showhow great those fast amps sound!

I find it helpful to know what the designer of a particular piece of equipment is trying to achieve. Of course there is frequently some added marketing hype, but that's to be expected. The alternative is 'black box' audio- guaranteed to make your system sound better, but no idea how.
Psag. Our departed Harry Pearson gave them all the guide. Be part of a system reproducing the sound of orchestral instruments as heard live.

Wow, very interesting reading in this post. Better than most!
I don't know what "Fast Gear" is. I would steer away from such terms.
Low noise, low distortion. That's what sounds good.
As for transient response, that's what it's all about. Laplace showed that awhile ago.
Steady state is dead when it comes to music!
