I have heard both extensively and favor the Belles. It is very dynamic with great imaging and liquidity. It is also very powerful delivering over 250w/ch into 8 ohms and much more as the impedance drops. It definitely would be a great match for the Aerial's. I thought the review in Soundstage by Doug Blackburn summed it up nicely.
Compared to the Bryston, it sounds smoother with more pristine highs. In comparison, the Bryston sounds a little rough around the edges.
Belles is also offering a newer 350a Reference amp.
