BELLES VIRTUOSO INTEGRATED UPDATE

Its been over a year since the Belles Virtuoso integrated amplifier was supposed to be released, and according to my Belles dealer, who spoke to Dave Belles yesterday, heres' the current situation. Dave and his engineer's are still working on the Preamp section, and will go into production in the very near future. In the meantime, Dave has released the 2-channel Virtuoso amplifier which is available to purchase. The current version is without meter's and price is set at  $ 5495.00. The meter version will be available in the near future and retail for $ 6495.00. The amp weighs 44 lbs. and puts out 200 watts rms @ 8 ohms. Dave mentioned the preamp section is superior to the Aria preamplifier. Still waiting and looking forward to purchase the integrated. After all, patience is a Virtuoso!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSyZuSyO76M The Belles Virtuoso dual-mono power amp is here playing music along with the Virtuoso Preamp at Audio Connection NJ. The Virtuoso is a healthy match for many speakers B&Ws, Magnepans, Vandersteen's, Thiels, etc. For those looking for a sophisticated, strong and capable choice this is a refreshingly different experience seemingly void of electronic artifacts with an endless engaging feel by stepping out of music's way.
The V integrated is in the final stage with just final CAD drawings and should be available October, Best, JohnnyR
