Belles Reference 150A in excellent condition with very light use and including both a silver faceplate as shown and extra black faceplate.
Here's what Doug Blackburn of Soundstage had to say about the Reference 150A:
"Gloriously transparent," with a "seemingly limitless spatial presentation" and "remarkable bass performance"; as monoblocks, "you get texture and hear levels of detail easily"; bass "solidity and power are awesome" as well. "At the end of each listening session with the Belles 150A Reference amp, either in stereo or mono, I was energized and scintillated."
"Prior to spending time with these amps, I thought there would never be a product that would justify a double Reviewers’ Choice nod from me. Well, here it is, the Belles 150A Reference -- extraordinary and possibly incomparable." Doug Blackburn, Soundstage

The Belles has been with me longer than any other component, besting all the other amps I have tried in the past several years, but my wife and I are moving to very cool, but very small new digs and it is time to downsize to a pc system. Amp is in excellent condition: I rated it an 8 instead of 9 because I purchased it as a very lightly used demo and because it has a very small, hardly noticable bump in the top (see photo - came like that new obviously since you can't put a bump in the top ;0)
I purchased a black faceplate as well that was a mock up for Overkill Audio (the makers of $40K speakers) when they were considering marketing the Belles directly with their speakers - It is a standard black Belles face plate with "Overkill Audio" silkscreened in white - so you can remove it and have a perfect stealth black faceplate if you like.
Buyers will get first preference, but will also consider trades for certain integrateds, e.g., Ayre, Almarro, and several others). Please see my ad for Placette Pre as well. Includes manual and the box I received it in - not sure if the box is original, but it is the right size and has foam inserts for the amp.
I ship within 24 hours for Postal Money Order or Paypal (buyer please add 3%). Checks and other money orders are fine, but need to clear my bank before shipping. Thanks for looking!
