Just a thought, but the Belles "Reference" 350A amplifier is mighty good. Has to say "Reference" though.

Steve I agree VG amp, especially with Vandersteen speakers and Planars.

Interesting story Rollo. Went to northern Indiana to visit Earlmarc. Speakers from Indianapolis (can't remember name) were there, my 11A Line Preamplifier and Reference 350A amp. Played in a small Amphitheatre.
Speaker gent claimed his speakers could not be destroyed. So they popped in the Telrac 1812 with normal volume at the beginning. Well, we all knew what was going to happen when the cannons fired. Hands over ears for a destruction test. Amp clipped, speakers "exploded",
At 15 - 20 feet away, pounding on the chest. After it was over, the amp still worked, the speakers still sounded great. However, the speaker gent stated he was going to replace the drivers just to be safe.
Reference 350A and speakers were as tough as advertised. Regular music sounded mighty good.
