| Bel Canto C5i Mj,I have ref1000m mono blocks in my main system. I like them so much it led me to the c5i for my smaller system. I agree bel canto has their act together and makes fine products. I have been impressed by their customer service as well in the past. | |
| best sounding integrated for under 2500.00 seikosha the sound overall is very comparable to my main system up to moderately loud volume. Have not had opportunity to evaluate the phono section yet in detail but initial impressions was most favorable. I'm running the c5i solely with my small... | |

| You know you're an audiophile if-- You pay extra for an amp with no remote because, well, there is less circuitry in there to pollute the darn sound. | |
| Has Linn Gone Crazy? They Stopped Making Pre-Amps Just for comparison, I just bought a Bel Canto c5i integrated amp. It has no pre-amp. Line level and phono inputs are converted to digital and it uses recent Class D Icepower amp technology. It is very small, very ergonomic, and sound absolute top... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Ohm Walsh 100 Series 3 Speaker I am running the 100s3s off a bel canto c5i integrated these days and finding that to be a wonderful pairing. | |
| preamp/amp or integrated? That is the question Either these days can deliver top notch sound. The devil is in the details. There is less for the end user to get wrong that can negatively affect resulting sound and performance with a good integrated amp. They are also more compact and ergonomic... |
