Belles 350A Ref / Ayre V-1XE / Pass Labs X250.5


Can somebody help me contrast these amps (or possibly suggest another)? Looking to run with ATC or Harbeth monitors. So, ideally, I'll need 250 WPC. Thanks for your thoughts.

Have not heard the Belles but had the Ayre and Pass 350.5 when I had my Thiels. I preferred the Ayre. it was just a little smoother, and fuller sounding in my system. i now own Harbeths and think the Ayre amp would match well. Which Harbeths are you thinking about getting?
I dont think you will need the kind of power you are talking about getting to get the most out of the SHL5s.
