    Finally got the chance to unpack this thing this evening. Shout out to Keith for the super deal! Arrived packed with loving care. In fact it probably took me 20-30 minutes to unpack it. Dude used enough bubble wrap and tape to gift wrap a nuclear sub... :D

    Dragged out my Belles 350 A reference amp to give it a proper audition. Then I hooked up my SDA 1C's via my Wireworld Mini-Eclipse's and let them all warm up. First impressions were that it matched really well with the Belles amp. Very full in it's presentation with great imaging. I tried the contour features to see if added bass or treble was an improvement and decided, at least with the SDA's that I liked the contour features off best.

    One of my only gripes with the Belles 350A amp was the apparent thinness in the lower registers when I matched it with my reference Belles 21A pre. This was not an issue with the Rotel. Did it make me want to swap out the 21A for a while? Nope, not even close. But it will make a great second system with the 350A. Can't wait to match them with my Infinity RS4000's I modded and am using in my barn!
