Does anyone know the value of BEL 1001 MKV?
I would say because of the fact that they are no longer being made or serviced by the original manufacturer, the price should be in the range of $1,200 - $1,500 for a used unit in good condition. It's a great amp.

Biamping thoughts and opinions
I run 8 watt tubes on the top and 200 watt solid state on the bottom. The best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned!. You should as Ahendler stated above, match the gain of the 2 amps. 
Double blind test on Strads
It's great to see that todays violin makers are able to produce excellent sounding instruments at an inexpensive price point comparatively. Good news for all violinists/violists that want great sound but don't have the megabucks to spend.

Bi-amping for HT
