New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF


Anyone have a chance to hear the new Bel Canto amplification at RMAF? I understand they have a Mk II version of the Ref 1000's and some new mono amps. I'd be interested in hearing impressions.

Guidocorona,

Thanks very much for your observation. You are correct, careful auditioning cannot be substituted. I'll look into this in due time.

Best regards,

I too was very pleased with the Bel Canto sound at RMAF. As Guido says, you can't reach any definitive conclusion in a show environment, but I can say that this was one of the better sounding systems at the 2008 RMAF, bar none. Music lovers searching for a neutral, dynamic and transparent amp should consider the new BCs.

Just took delivery of 3 Ref1000, MkII amps. Sitting on top of the original Refs. Hope to get them cranking tomorrow.

Kal, when the new amps are burned in please let us know your impresions about the differences you find between both models. I'm sure it'll be very interesting for many of us. Thanks in advance.
In all candor, I can say only a bit because there will be a published review.
