Looking for an amp....Opinions about Odyssey or Bel Canto audio anyone?

Look at the recently introduced Van Alstine SET 400.

If you mean have they been reviewed by Stereophile then the answer is no. After over 40 years in business Frank has no reason to fudge on his published specs. They have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee so you can try them and see what you think. The SET 400, the 600 monos or even the Odyssey Kismet will easily push the top end of your new Aries. .

You have never said what speaker you are attempting to drive and in what size room that needs these large amounts of power.

I haven't owned a Van Alstine amp in years but Frank builds a quality product and stands behind as well as being easily accessible through his forum on AC.  His operation is bigger than Klaus' at Odyssey so the time from order to delivery is much less.  I now have my fourth Odyssey amp in house, a Kismet stereo, though to be honest it hasn't been used much recently.  You can't go wrong with either companies amps sound or quality wise. Some would find the Odyssey amps to be slightly warmer sounding in general but Frank's new SET series is thought to be more in that direction as well.  As to the Bel Canto's they are all Class D module based and usually they either work or they don't.  If buying in that arena I would make sure I was buying a current generation product whether it be Ncore or Icepower.  That would be an NC500 or AS1200 based amp.  The Nord products from the UK have been around for a while now and Colin is easy to work with. As to an earlier question the NC1200 based amps are few and far between and none are going to be "reasonably priced" as Hypex set pricing guidelines on amps built with those modules.  

Next step up solves that but at a price.

Would also consider a used PS Audio BHK 250.  Great amp.

Frank, like Klaus at Odyssey is not big on that kind of thing but I am sure he will be willing to talk to you and tell you whatever you want to know.  From something he said the other day on his Circle there have only been a couple of pair built and sold so far.  Take advantage of the trial period and see what you think.  Return shipping is certainly cheaper than buying an amp you don't like.
