If you check the bulletin page, Spectral has just presented their new iteration of the DMA-200S power amp.

Actually the 'S' designation has also been used on "Universal" amps, like the 150S and I believe the 160S as well. I think they have now abandoned this practice, but don't really know how they designate "Universal" amps nowadays - I literally lost track and interest. Basically, it's a mess, so it's best to ask a dealer. I never understood why a "Universal" amp is not marked "U".
strange that the pre only offers single ended inputs/outputs.
These are photos of older versions of the DMA 200S and DMC 15. Spectral recognizes that there is no inherent benifit to balanced interconnections in a properly configured system used in a non hostile environment.
I don't like where the speaker terminals are. One on top of the other?
Spectral can "claim' there is no benefit to an all balanced system. I respectfully disagree. My system is fully balanced, source to amp.
My system is dead quiet, and I've worked to make it that way.
When a manufacturer states their philosophy on their website, that's fine with me. When they make statements and announce their opinions as facts, I disregard their products.
It's that simple.
