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.

Considering the MkII upgrade to Ref 1000, no local distributor to audition. Would like to hear more from those who have the oppportunity to do a direct comparison. Kal, when can we expect your article to be published?

I will be starting to break in a pair of Bel Canto Ref 1000 Mk2 monos very shortly. I will post my findings on Audiogon in the form of a new review thread after I reach the 1000 hours breakin mark. I won't be able to compare to the Mk.1 version because I do not have the older version at hand. I will use the JRDG 312 as a benchmark instead. Guido

See my review of the Bel Canto Ref 1000 Mk.2 monoblock amplifier just posted on issue No. 43 of Positive Feedback Online. Yes, IMO, this is an example of an excellent and very musical high power amplifier at a Real World price, regardless of underlying technology.
