MBL 126 speakers with Bel Canto ref500 amps?


I'm mulling over a used pair of MBLs for a very good price (relatively speaking), but I can't spring for the matching MBL amps which, even used, are almost $10K. I'm wondering if my current monoblocks, the Bel Canto Ref500, which put out 500w each into 4 ohms like the MBLs, would be enough power for those hungry speakers and would pair well with them.

Has anyone heard any of the MBL speaker line driven by Bel Canto amps? I'd be very interested in anyone's thoughts on this potential pairing.

Thanks!

8 years too late, but better late than never I suppose.. I am using bel canto ref 600 to drive Mbl 120’s.. sounds glorious. The ref 600ms are much better the
Ref 500’s in my opinion and it shows.:-)
