Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier?

Hey all... 

  found this thread doing research and felt compelled to resurrect it with a comment.....I couldn’t agree more with what ctsooner said above about “brick and mortar” audio retailers. I found my Belles Soloist 1 at Overture Audio in Ann Arbor used in 2015. Since then, I’ve replaced every other component in my system with no plans to replace the Belles. I’m running a Transparent cable loom that costs more than the Amp, a Mytek Brooklyn DAC+, ATC SCM 40v2 towers and a REL S/3 SHO and I am truly happy with that set up. Point is, I would’ve never considered the Soloist 1 or even known it existed unless someone at Overture took the time to educate me about David Belles and his handmade audio gems. I’m very happy with mine and I can’t imagine ever finding a better solid state integrated for the money....

I've heard the Belles running some really expensive gear and it fit right in.  I think it's because it has plenty of current to run difficult speaker loads and it's tonally balanced.  I believe that's why I've never heard anyone say they don't like the sound.  Others may get a higher priced integrated like an Aesthetix Mimas, but nothing negative about the Aria or newer mono's etc..  I love the fact that I can tell friends to get the Belles and I'll never look bad. lol.

On a somewhat related note, and sorry to hijack, but was anyone ever able to locate a schematic for a Belles Model Two.   These older units are not supported and i have buzz on mine....thanks

Anyone actually have an example of the Virtuoso at their home yet?

since this thread first appeared I have acquired an Aria Integrated, and based on mine a friend purchased a pair of Aria mono blocks to power much more expensive speakers, and the Arias are simply outstanding...
