Which integrated amp would you pick?

timlub- Take a look. Plenty of reviews. I think the discrepancy in power is because the last iteration of the Obelisk (mk.2) had an optional outboard PS. With the PS, the power rating was 10-15 watts higher. Glad you are enjoying the Belles.

Try both with your own ears ( not the press ) and perhaps you won't have to worry about resale.  I had a Soloist 1 and really enjoyed it.  Only reason I sold it was because I sold the Vandersteen 2s that went with it....too big for my room.  I'd like to get some Vandy 1s and the Belles Aria will be one integrated that I'll strongly consider.  Good luck!  Regards.......

I have Coda at the moment, I don't own the Belles.  The outboard power supply does make sense.

I don't want to steal the thunder from the OP, but of course it's better to audition if you can. In this case, I have had a brief listen to the Obelisk and
also the Rega Brio. In my case, there is travel (6 hr minimum), and time involved in auditioning. In this price range, I'm thinking just give one a shot.

I haven't learned them on anywhere near the same type of equipment to compare. Try them both to see what's better.
