Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso


Just before the Holiday's, I noticed on several authorized Belles websites, that certain separates went out of production which is a pattern that would indicate new products are forthcoming, and sure enough a new Integrated popped up on the Belles website last week, which appears to be his greatest integrated amp to date. The Virtuoso,
putting out over 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms, HT bypass, Processor loop, MM & MC phono stage, and power meters on the front panel. The unit will be released in March at a price tag of $6495. Given David Belles reputation during the past 30 years, who has always been at the top of his game as perhaps the best solid state engineer designer ever in the states, since musicality has always been his first order of business, it wouldn't surprise me at all that the Virtuoso will fly out the door and winds up on the back order list. Its a real looker.
Very handsome unit. Well done David! Its what we've been waiting for.

@audiozen ...thank you!  Appreciate your response to my inquiry.  Looks like I’ll be looking to get another Aria or perhaps even the Virtuoso soon.  Best.....
UPDATE ON THE BELLES VIRTUOSO. My Belles dealer was informed by Dave Belles this morning that the release date of the Virtuoso has been pushed back to mid-April. Drat! The unit will weigh 55 pounds which is what I was hoping for, indicating large power reserves which Dave is known for in his top units.
I for one am Going for the new Belles Virtuoso. I’ve read every piece I can find on Belles products. I can’t wait to get it into my listening room....
