JohnnyR: according to David the new Aria Mono Amp will just run about anything as he stated his specs are on the very conservative side. Looking at pairing them up with some Dynaudio C2 Platinums and some Magnepan 1.7i... I will have the pre/amp this weekend, just using a old rebuilt Amp but looking forward to a decent Amp(s) to run speakers with easy. A pair of MB-200 might do the trick as well! ;) 

I love my Soloist 1. Not sure I want the Aria to be so much better...

 Belles Aria Mono's are a freak show of an amp.
In my listening experience its more about what these amps don't do that makes them special.
Best,

   Off Topic: Running a Belles Soloist 3 pre-amp with Belles 150A Hot Rod power amp for years.  Catastrophic failure of power amp.  Replaced with Belles 150A Reference V2 power amp, still using the Soloist 3 pre.
   Is this coupling of an older Belles entry level pre with a new Belles power amp a mismatch?  I'm sure there is much to be gained with a new Aria pre but is using the original Soloist 3 competent, or is it holding too much back?
