Bel Canto SETi40 intgrtd or SET40 monos


Does anyone own; or has anyone heard either the SETi40 integrated; or the SET40 monos by Bel Canto? I have heard great things, and am considering either of these options for my first foray into the the tube amp realm...

I had a SETi40 for a short time...they are very nice amps. If you can make do with three inputs, the SETi40 is recommended over the SET 40 (even by Bel Canto). I had some problems with transformer hum and my voltage, and I didn't think it was a great match for my Merlin speakers (NOS tubes may have changed that, but I didn't bother due to the hum). I highly recommend trying one in your house, with your speakers, before purchasing.
