Interesting thoughts for me. My old Belles 400A amp died a couple months ago. Almost a month after getting the new Belles Aria Signature preamp from Johnny R. After talking to him about a replacement, he suggested either the Aria dual mono or Signature dual mono amp. Then I came across a very clean and well cared for pair of MB-200 for a good price. After much thought, went with the MB-200’s, and paired with the new Aria Signature pre, am very happy with the combo.
I wondered if I made the right choice, but the MB-200’s were really ‘crying out to me’. it’s good to hear you still hold them in high regards vs the new Aria Signature integrated. Thanks.
