Listened to the 3 main Belles integrateds at John R shop in NJ in 11-2021. I was very impressed by all 3 amps (pre dual Mono intro) but felt the Signature was the sweet spot in terms of performance vs cost. ALL sounded great playing thru a pair of Vandersteen Treos. I walked out wanting to get the Sig and the Treos after being sold on the basic Aria. Stock market declines have put me in limbo for now but I would get ANY of those Belles amps to replace both my McIntosh MC250 and my Marantz PM8006. I have listened to a number of amps over the last few years and the Belles just grabbed me. ...power, clarity, neutral but with a tubish, analog midrange. Talk to John R.
Does anyone know the detailed specs of the new Belles Virtuoso?
I’m wondering about the new Belles virtuoso. Haven’t seen much info on it except it has 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Anyone have experience with it? Are you able to connect a turntable to it? What's the huge difference between the virtuoso and the signature?
