I have owned the DNA-125 for 6 months and have been greatly rewarded with powerful bass, smooth and articulate midrange, and sweet, extended highs, bringing you the entire spectrum of musical color. I have it paired with Dynaudio Contour S1.4s At 125 watts per channel, the DNA-125 has plenty of power. I too was considering the Belles, but decided on the Mccormack after reading several positive reviews and listening to it for myself.
