New Bel Canto Digital

Sorry guys another question. Anyone hear the new eOne digital amps. They're based on the ICE design and the monoblocks have 500 per channel. Sounds a little like the Jeff Rowland 201s which many people are enamored of. Take care all.

I recently picked up the S300 (stereo amp version, 150wpc into 8 ohms) and have been burning it in for the last week or so. So far so good...and IMHO better than the Bel Canto eVo2i integrated amp (although I'm driving it with a tubed preamp, so that accounts for some of the differences).

I'm going to be hosting the December/Holiday NY Audio Rave in December, and I think we're doing to be continuing on our digital amp theme that started last month...so you can look out for comments then.

What's the price for them?

The S300 stereo amp has a retail price of $1600.

The REF1000 monoblock retails for $2100 each.

They are the first in a new line Bel Canto is calling the eOne line...
