 Anyone familiar with this amp? I know it was built in 85 or 86 50 watts a channel. But that's all I know. Anyone that has any info on how it sounds would be much appreciated. Thanks

 I can tell you Belles made really good sounding products.

 Heard one briefly amongst others in a showroom in Tampa. Looks wise, it looked the part and soundwise equated itself very competitively with the other SS amps there. Not sure of going prices today but if within reason well worth trying.

 I had one back in the 80s. Very musical. In fact, many felt that the 50 watt was their most musical sounding amp, even as they went to higher powered models. Kind of like many feeling that early Krell amps were the most "tube" like in their sound presentation. The Belles is/was well built and a fantastic value for the money. A poor man's Krell.
