Bel Canto evo's


Can I get some comments in regards to how Bel Canto evo amplifiers compare to quality linear amplifiers such as the Odyssey Stratus, PASS or equal. I remember BCs being the hot ticket when they were new but seemed to have cooled in popularity over time. Are the digital amplifiers at a decidedly disadvantage in some applications or with some speakers? Or, maybe just a little too much money for the watts? Will the digial revolution succeed?

Audio Research and several other high-end companies are reportedly developing their own versions of digital switching amplifiers. So, yes, the revolution will succeed–in fact it's only just beginning.

But, while the technology is interesting, the best aspect of these amps is the sound. I'm a tube lover, yet I've been totally won over by the Bel Canto Evo 2 (I run two of them in monoblock mode.) Spacious, dynamic, and harmonically rich–I've not heard better sound in my system. And the relatively modest price is the icing on the cake.
