Opinions on the Bel Canto Evo 4 Gen II

I'm shopping for a new amplifier and am considering the Bel Canto Evo 4 Gen II. I listen to many different kinds of music and love bass, but have been getting more into vocal music, so I'd be looking for good mids and highs as well. I know, tall order. Any opinions on the Bel Canto? It would be driving a pair of Aerial 8Bs, which love power, so I'd probably be bridging the amp. I have a lower-end preamp that eventually will be replaced, so i'm more concerned about the quality of the amp and how it would fit with the Aerials.

IMO eVo 4 mk II is one hell of an amplifier, especially when used in bridged mode. It posses the purity of tone that is really hard to find in ANY SS amplifier.

After comparing my eVo 4 mk II to the newer Bel Canto S300, I can only say that the later simply embarassed the older amp. MUCH better (warmer and more natural) midrange, wider and again MUCH deeper soundstage, more open on top.

Anyway - after hearing what ICEpower based amps can do, I sold the eVo 4. For me the eVo chapter is now closed.
