what's your system look like? maybe it wasn't broken in (i.e. needs @ 200hrs in my experience). my system: pioneer pd-65 transport>belcanto1.1 dac> joule electra la-100mk2 pre> belles 350a> merlin vsm-m.
there's a shade of darkness in my overall presentation--but that's the joule's fault, not the belles.
i have great difficulty defining its character, as with the merlins. i would not agree w/ will re: cool and analytical at all...if anything, i'd say organic, spacious, in total control, and fast/clean. love it love it love it.
--which i guess proves will's point. listen for yourself.
feel free to search for extended comments i made on the unit on audioasylum general forum, search for belles 350a.
