Retail of 400's and 300?

[Kingsrule]

Can anyone help here with the retail prices of these amps?

IIRC the MSRP is $28K and $18K

Thank you!

WOW, I didn't know the 300 was that expensive. I thought it was coming in at 15k. Are they going to continue selling the 260?

I could be wrong

Don't go doubting yourself on my part. I had heard 15k being knocked around, and figured it was about right as an evolution go the 260. I've not heard THAT from a dealer. Spectral could be keeping the 200 and 260, and bringing the 300 in as it's king stereo amp. Anyone have the definitive word, or has Spectral even decided?

I'm posting MSRP. You might be posting street prices. I think I'm correct wrt the 400.

Based on what I have read from owners of Spectral gear on this forum, it seems Spectral has some reliability issues that gives me pause.

Plus the fact you need to buy all new cables.

I heard 15k also at some point, but latest dealer info is 15-20 range.

To be more precise, you need all MIT cables, which can be acquired used (like I have)....

Still an added expense and not cheap. You don't need to do that with any other gear.

True. But think of it like this. As it is, demand for this gear outstrips supply. If they actually made it easy to use it, it would be near impossible to get your hands on it.

You can also look at it this way: Specral and MIT (Spectral cables) are a package deal, delivering the real deal ;-)
