Spec RSA-M99 Integrated Amplifier Details

A wide, solid spruce board is closely attached to the entire bottom surface of the chassis. Spruce is the same type of wood used to build violins.

Wooden feet of maple with hickory embedded in the center. These foot pieces are designed in such a way that only the hickory located in the center is grounded.

Wooden soundboard with wooden feet vibrate with the audio signal playing a natural sound.

By blending various capacitors, a sophisticated and expressive sound is reproduced.

“HIBIKI-ICHI” was developed with the goal of rapid response and natural tone in collaboration with world renowned capacitor manufacturer “NICHICON”. The “HIBIKI-ICHI” brings out even more texture for a more musical sound.
JAPANESE KANJI are written on the surface of the capacitor. This KANJI is pronounced as “HIBIKI-ICHI”, and ‘’HIBIKI” means vibrancy.

The R-core transformer brings out a dynamic and powerful sound. This same transformer is being used in the top of the range model.

High driving ability is the foundation of SPEC REAL SOUND.
High driving ability is an essential part of SPEC REAL SOUND. In order to reproduce the sound with such musicality, the speaker drive ability is incredibly important. This is because it is necessary to drive and stop the speaker instantaneously.

” Class D ” is excellent in the speaker drive ability and can reproduce the musicality of live performance sufficiently. On the other hand, the PWM system is adopted at the front of the “CLASS D” block. Since the PWM system is composed of analog circuits, it can amplify a small signal without losses. For a beautiful sound, it is important to faithfully reproduce many small signals.

Beautiful soothing rings of warm yellow lighting
The yellow rings of light emitting from the volume control knob and input selector will contribute to a relaxing ambiance in any setting.

Spec RSA-M99 is especially characterized by its beautiful tone.Then, its impressive musicality is achieved through the creation of natural and realistic sounds.Of course, M99 also has the precise and powerful drive-capability that is the feature of Class D.

Spec RSA-M99 Integrated Amplifier Reviews

The SPEC RSA-M99 is one of the best ‘tubeless tube amplifiers’ I know. It is also a perfect example of how profound technical knowhow, dedicated passion for the product and an unfailing love of music has driven the advancements in Class-D to where it stands today.
SPEC Corporation pounded with the RSA-M99 outlook. Combined with the unusually musical sounding potency the RSA-M99 deserves my recommendation. This integrated amplifier has changed firm convictions about the Class D. But that feature combined with the stylish looks, an impressive gain handling, and musicality grants the SPEC Corporation RSA-M99 integrated amplifier the 2019 Mono and Stereo Highly Recommended Product Award!
Neither my familiarity with SPEC Corp.’s overall profile, nor auditions of its products at various shows could possibly prepare me for today’s machine, let alone enthusiasts with the usual bashing attitude towards class D fully developed. But that’s good, the surprise the RSA-M99 has in store for them will be this much better. And the final blow? Even deadlier…
