The Fastest most musical amp


Since I got the upgrade bug and the only cure is to change my preamp and amp I am looking for some advice of our great Audiophile community to help me find the amplifier and preamp combo that suits me best. My priority are the folowing: I want to find the FASTEST and MOST MUSICAL amp and preamp ( It can be tube preamp ( tough I think all tube preamp are slow) or solid state preamp but only solid state amp.) I know that spectral is known to be one of the fastest but I don`t like the idea of being forced to use the Networked MIT cable (which slow up the sound much)

Just to clear up some misinformation above...
1. Spectral equipment is super wideband & can go into self-destructive parasitic inaudible ultrasonic oscillation modes without networked cables, which present a more stable load than any reactive speaker possibly can.
2. MIT cables do not slow anything down. They are not filters; the networks are in fact paralleled. The networks behave similar to Zoebel terminations across a driver's terminals, helping to absorb the reflected counter emf from the linear motor's winding. A super wideband amp seeing these reflactions coming back into it at full amplitude can go wild & destroy itself without any audible indications of problems until the output devices fail.
With what speakers? The amp and speaker combination affects the overall "speed" of the music. Try using the Tenor amp with an inefficient low impedence speaker and find out for yourself (Or a slow SET with a Lowther).
Nomenclature in the audio world can be a little strange at times. "Fast" what is fast in an amplifier. All electons travel at the same speed. While I make some fun of the term, and can not explain fully what "fast" is--I immediately knew what character was being referred to. The amp that immediately came to mind was the Bel Canto Evo 200.2 (I believe that was the model). I was really impressed with this amp, it seemed to effortlessly be there with all the reserves for the music. What was more impressive is that it is a digital amp and did not lose it's musicality--something I did not expect. I've only auditioned it once, and thus do not have enough experience with it to point out where it might fall short. But I can say on my short audition--it is definitely "fast".
Dis:

Not a clue as to where you are coming from, based on your posts/answers (which seem to be all over the map), and also considering that you do not have a listed system.

As far as an informed opinions go I will suggest that you list the rest of the intended setup, then go from there.

Ah, nothing like generalizations to stir the pot.

That's not my experience. I do own a hand-made valve preamp from the '80s (made by Allen Wright) that one may call a little slow, but it has a ton of magic. In contrast, my BAT VK-50SE is a rocket ship - slow is not a word that springs to mind when listening to this unit at my place.
