I was informed this morning that the review of the Bella EXtreme 3205 Signature power amplifier has been posted at EnjoyTheMusic.
I am very happy with the review and the way the review was written as it is not "over glorified" like so many reviews are. It was written by a reviewer that is very down to earth and calls it as he sees it.
The Bella EXtreme Signature 3205 (previously known as the Response Audio Signature 3205) has been our best selling amplifier now going on 4 years. Available as a power amplifier or full integrated unit can use EL34/KT77 or 6550/KT88 output tubes.

Nice review....congrats Bill. :thumb:
I did get to hear two of your products at RMAF....in the Bolder(Wayne's) room, and the Modwright/Acoustic Zen room. Sounded good....
I hope more people give them a look and a listen. 8)

Thanks for all the great comments everyone. I haven't looked through all ETM's reviews but I think this may be the first amplifier review of a "modified" product. Even though we were allowed to put our name on it.
The new Bella EXtreme 3205 MK II is more unique as a new input stage circuit was designed for the amp.
The last two reviews, Bella EXtreme 100 and Bella EXtreme 3205, along with the forthcoming reviews come about with perfect timing as we are celebrating our 10th year anniversary.

So would you say that the new Bella EXtreme 3205 MK II is a 'big' improvement over the older 3205 Signature?

The 3205 MK II is much different from the 3205 Signature. The MK II uses Teflon coupling capacitors as well as a different circuitry in the input stage. Different sonic presentation.
There are now over 400 Signature units out there. Both new units and modified units where consumers sent in their Jolida 302/502 amplifiers. Many of these consumers have now heard both and some would prefer the Signature over the MK II. The Signature provides a warmer sound while the MK II is cleaner and more articulate.
It comes down to personal preferences.

Just a note that we have 3 chassis left from our May run of 3205 units that we will still offer at the special Summer Sale Price.
