The Anthem pre2L and Belles 350a sure are a sweet combo. Its early but what I have heard is outstanding. I have never heard anything like this before. Its incredible. Simply incredible and far exceeds my expectations.
As you will see in the fourth picture we are a happy family again :D Well kind of, she still knows nothing but will soon.

    They are powering my SRSII's with RDO-194 tweeters, Sonic Craft sonicaps/Mills resistors in the high pass and Dayton caps in the low pass.

    Thanks George
    The Belles is awesome. Its early on in the listening experience but its awesome. I finally know whats its like to have pure, clean, detailed power. I read in a thread once upon a time where some guy thought he needed a sub woofer well he was doing something wrong. The highs are crystal clear, mids are super strong but not over bearing, and lows are about perfect. I am going to work on some different tubes too.

    Incredible.
    My SRSII's are finally sounding like the $5,000. speakers they are.
    I know its not all the Belles because the Anthem is nice too.

    Welcome to Hi-Fi, there is no going back once you enter the rabbit hole, but really, who wants to go back to the mundane and rather ordinary.

    Enjoy the sound.

    Thanks guys
    Damn the kids have a delayed opening this morning so can't listen till after 9:42 am.
    I gotta take some more pictures with new camera. The ones posted don't do either pieces justice.
