Belles Aria Mono-Block Power Amplifier

Aria Mono Block Amplifier

  • This Belles Aria is a 112W X 1 solid-state mono-block power amplifier. 


  • The Aria Monoblock Amplifier shares many key features found in the critically acclaimed Aria Integrated Amplifier. The base chassis, torroid power transformer, high current power supply and amplifier circuitry are all the same. The thick, brushed front panel is configured only with a momentary power switch and green LED power indicator. 


  • Rather than two power stages, the monoblock operates but one channel. Faithful to the Belles design philosophy, the amplifier circuit is laid out in a straight-line path. Yes, it’s physically understated. In fact it looks attractive, but plain. But wait until you hear it!


  • The design is truly state of the art. Belles products are well known for their use of carefully selected, high-grade components. This applies to every stage of the signal path, as well as mechanical hardware. 


  • The power amplifier effortlessly outputs 112 watts into 8 ohms and is a discrete, fully complimentary configuration utilizing MOSFET transistor output stages. The heat sink hardware and interface is designed for efficient thermal conductivity.

Review

Dagogo

"With more efficient speakers, even grandiose ones such as the Legacy Audio Whisper DSW Clarity Edition, the Aria does not come up short. 


In fact, in terms of macrodynamics it competes very well with more traditional setups such as source/ DAC/ preamp/amp/speakers. 


The output of the Whisper was so forcefulusing this 112-watt amp that I had to remove the Legacy Audio XTREME XD Subwoofers, as they were entirely unnecessary!


 I had been at a similar point with the Pass Labs X600.5 Monoblocks or the AVM Ovation SA 6.2, but never with a sub-200 watt amp into 4 ohms."
