About the Musician III MK2 SE

The Spectron Musician III MK2 SE is a Class D stereo power amplifier designed for audiophiles seeking high power and refined sound quality. It delivers 600 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms, with the capability to drive extremely low impedances such as 0.1 ohm, making it ideal for planar and electrostatic speakers. The amplifier features a large, low-impedance power supply with 100 capacitors totaling 33,000 µF, providing exceptional headroom and transient response. It supports both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs and includes five-way speaker binding posts plus optional voltage sensing speaker cable connectors. The MK2 SE version includes upgraded input and output stages, re-engineered power switching modules, audiophile-grade hook-up wire, and custom capacitors in the reconstruction filter. Optional upgrades include V-Cap oil and Teflon capacitors and Super-Effect Bybee Purifiers for enhanced power supply performance. The amplifier is highly efficient (>92%), has a very low THD (<0.03%), and a signal-to-noise ratio of 115 dB. It weighs 52 pounds and measures 17"W x 5.25"H x 14"D. The Musician III MK2 SE is praised for its neutral tonal balance, powerful bass control, and ability to maintain detail and dynamics even at very high output levels. It is no longer a mass-market product but remains a reference amplifier for demanding listeners.
