Folks. This is a GREAT amp at a great price. I don't know why they aren't more popular, but then again, Belles was never about winning popularity contests. These are well built and provide clean, neutral, sound that is never harsh or grating, but always in control. They can handle difficult loads too, ie 2ohms. What's more is that they really let you hear what your front end gear (including cables) are doing. The term "reference" actually means something in this case. With that said, if you're looking for an amp that adds obvious / intentional color, this isn't the amp for you.
Hope this helps. Just my $.02
