how many own Belles Virtuoso amp and preamp? and what's your experience?


The brand Belles is seldom heard in today's audio world. I believe the company produces quality products. I own a dual 200 watt Virtuoso amp  and an Aria preamp. So far, I liked them very much. The Virtuoso amp is not listed in their website, their integrated is. . My question today is does any audiophile owns a virtuoso product and what is your experience? How about other Belles products? What has been your experience?

Aria monoblocks and Signature preamp run my Office system  using Vandy VLR's. 

One very capable system.

I think that Belles is one of the most under rated and under appreciated brands in the high-end.

David is a brilliant designer and his gear is pretty great!

I've owned a 20A, 21A, 21A Auricap and a 22A preamp.

Still have a 150A "Hot Rod" and have owned a 150 Ref, 350A, 350A Ref and a SA30 amplifier.

Would LOVE to find a pair of MB500's.  One of my desert island amps...

I have two Belles amps from the 80's: a 50 watt and a 150 watt. Excellent build and sound quality! I believe that David Belles around that time also built amps for OCM.
