Any thoughts on the Bel Canto M 300 amps? Red Dragon M1000 MK II ?


Hello,

I am looking to buy new amp/amps for my system but live in the boondocks so I cant listen to them. I need your help!! Anyone listen to or own the Bel Canto M300s? If so what are your thoughts. Hows the sound? Do they have plenty of  power. I am also considering the Red Dragon M1000 MK II at a higher price. Any thoughts on either would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

I have owned both the Bel Canto M300 and S300. I think they sound great and love the simple, understated look. I also have owned and still do own the PS Audio Trio A-100 amp. These amps use the same ICE modules and have a near identical sound. The PS Audio amp is a bit more versatile that the Bel Canto as it can be bridged mono. 
Now, the shocker to me is, the PS Audio can be had for much less than the Bel Canto amps. In fact, I'd bet you could by two C-100 amps for less than a pair of Bel Canto mono amps. You'd have twice the power with more versatility. You could run two C-100s in bridged mode or bi-amp them.
Cary also made an amp with the same ICE modules which is usually priced similarly to the BC.
