RE: no

I never had the chance to hear the Spectra series. I am sure you know I am not a huge fan of the original Acoustat design. Not remotely close to the refinement or finesse of the Stax. Certainly a more powerful and muscular design versus the Stax and on balance the Acoustat will most likely fit a greater number of people and musical tastes.

If one is looking for the most transparent, resolving, refined, delicate, intimate type of sound and can live with the dynamic limitations/power requirements the Stax still reins supreme. Nothing is really close. I still shake my head in amazement every time I listen to them. A shame that more of these speakers were not produced.
