I'm using an Aesthetix Janus (the Calypso w/phono stage) to drive Bel Canto M300s. AMAZING. Great detail, transparent to a fault, instrumental timbres correct, vocals stunning, all out of an inky black background. Stunning. Driving Thiel 2.4s.
Bel Canto Ref500M and Aesthetix Calypso
i am in the process of rebuilding my system, moving from CounterPoint pre / Atma-sphere power / Wilson Cub speakers to something a bit more kid friendly. I was thinking of pairing an Aesthetix Calypso pre with Bel Canto Ref500m amps... have any of you heard this combo? Will likely be going with gallo reference speakers.
i LOVED the warmth and 'roundness' of the atma-sphere amp, but those glowing tubes were just too tempting for little fingers. i'm hoping that the Calypso preamp will give me some of that even with the class d amps.
any inputs would be greatly appreciated.
