Newbie looking for amplifier advice

Look at Marigo audio dots for the large window - they work wonders with the glass. Consider free audition of the Nuprime line of integrateds with DAC

(((I can't think)))
  I can see that but here you needed to listen first.

((( of higher value gear than what Parasound produces especially its new HALO integrated. The Ryans have a sensitivity of 86db and the Parasound has more than twice the power output of the Belles. More power is always a good thing especially with speakers having that low of a sensitivity rating.)))

Belles/Ryan works real well together.
 Sometimes there is more to music then just numbers.
 Now, wouldn't It have been cool if you actually experienced a Belles Aria before you dismiss it?

Relax brother and read my post again. You post twice in this thread and both are attacks. I never dismissed the Belles. I just stated a fact - the Parasound has more than twice the power output. With speakers at 86db, this is something to be considered. And the iFi Retro Stereo is not a lifestyle system; its an integrated amp.

OK, we get it. You like Belles so we’ll mark you down as an owner of the Belles. Or you’re a dealer and if so, you may want to add a disclaimer and not sell by attacking the competition.  Now that is what's not cool!

One of JohnnyR's best attributes is that he knows so much about audio and knows what works well together.  I have heard him assemble systems for every pocketbook and I scratch my head every time as to how he can do this consistently.  I read the posts and  while some might feel that his posts had an attacking tone, I did not see it that way.  I looked at it as though unless you have heard the combinations, opinions are then just opinions without any backing.  Funny, I tell my wife that all the time.  Not to sound attacking in anyway, JR just knows the products and was providing what I would want, someone who knows the equipment and how they interact together to get the best sound.

Happy Listening.

I don't see any "attack" in what Johnny wrote at all. Paraneer you must be a very, very sensitive person.
