The only downside I can think of is they take a long time to break-in, a good 600-1000 hours of playing time. In my experience they can sound downright awful between 150-300 hours. I have a suspicion that any crticisms of Spectron comes from them not being sufficiently broke-in.
In preparation for new speakers I have on order I have upgraded to the mono Spectrons. For what you get in audio playback the Spectrons are a super bargain.
On a side note I would love to hear Mark Levinson's new flagship mono switching amps.
