New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE

Does anyone that purchased the Bel Canto Ref600 mono block amps have any comments on these amps? I am planning on auditioning them shortly and am looking for your comments. All the reviews have been very positive but input from actual owners would be appreciated.  Thanks. 

We spent a afternoon with them on different speakers. Make sure you hear them with your speakers before purchasing.
As they "can" sound good with flat 4ohm’ish impedance, but also not so good if the upper-mid/high impedance curve of the speaker looks a bit like a roller coaster.

I bought a pair of Bel Canto Ref 600Ms about five weeks ago, and so far I am very pleased. They are still breaking in, but I already find the sound very clean and clear with dead quiet background and nice, musical articulation of acoustic instruments. I find no harshness or edge to the sound--once the system is warmed up.

My front end is an Esoteric K-01 (mostly playing CDs) and an ARC LS25 Mk II; speakers are Focal Alto Utopia Be.

I suspect the tubed LS25 is contributing positively to the musicality and lack of edge. As someone once said,

"A good amp is like a sewer: What you get out of it depends on what you put into it."

" I suspect the tubed LS25 is contributing positively to the musicality and lack of edge."
"A good amp is like a sewer: What you get out of it depends on what you put into it."

Same for "the best preamps" they should be "totally transparent" like a direct source to poweramp connection, yet with control over the volume.
Not adding "musicality" or removing "edge" if any.

Have a pair of REF600M's coming this week. Current amps are a Krell TAS and a Bryston 3BST.  Speakers are Thiel 1.6 and 3.6.  DAC/preamps are Mytek Brooklyn + and Cambridge DacMagic Plus.  More details as I get then burned in.
