have you ever bought stereo without listening first


I just placed a down payment for a Belles Virtuoso 200wpc amp. Its not in their website, I believe is a new model just put in production. Following Audio Connection,John Rutan's recommendation and pairing it up with an Audible Illusion M3A preamp and Vandys speakers. I believe its going to be a good combo, but has anyone listen to this amp?

I prefer home demo.  Only time I did not was when I upgraded from Pass Labs Xa30.5 to XA 100.8.  Yet I was anxious until after burn in period .  I made the right decision.   If you have experience with another amp from the same brand in your current system then  upgrade should be safe
