MB-200 Mono-Block Amplifier

Hi-Fi+ (England) - “Compact, capable and discretely elegant in appearance, these Belles mono-blocs stand to become something of a reference around these parts. Superbly detailed, their transparency, dynamic and spatial resolution are underpinned by a conservatively rated 200 Watts output that means they can laugh in the face of most speaker loads.”
