    The Belles is definately a good pre-amp. With the Auricaps, it's phenominal.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    They are not as easily found as they used to be,,I have a 20A which is just a tad different than the 21,,,but as you said--they don't come up often,,,a fine pre for the money--they seem to hold their value over the years.
    JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)
