I didn't write it either, wouldn't really care. It is also true that Spectral turns down review requests, and the last one was at the intense pleading (begging?) of one of its dealers - and like I would know which one :)

There are only 3 dealers left ( to my knowledge) in the US.

I mean 40 plus of years and if it ain't broke , don't fix it right?

With regards to reviews and the secrecy that surrounds Spectral.

Figuring out what's going on at Spectral is almost as hard as trying to figure what's up at the Church of Scientology.
I've owned many fine Spectral products, but they are indeed one weird outfit.

There was a fourth one in Colorado I think, who advertised in the last 12-18 months

Yes, and all mention of Spectral is now gone from their website.

I only know of Alan Goodwin in Boston and Hugh Fountain in Berkeley. Where is the third one?
