As the first-ever electronics component to receive a Lunar Eclipse award, the Bel Canto e.One Reference 1000 mono block amplifiers obviously deserve mention. After nearly a year of ownership, my admiration for these amps has only deepened. Initially I was exceedingly impressed by the tube-like solidity of images and their tonal saturation but what has continued to impress me is their naturally musical presentation. Paradoxically, only an amplifier possessing such high technology can manage to sound distinctly non-hifi and to avoid artificially spotlighting this parameter or that. Its holistic sound takes the listener deeply into the music and away from matters of the equipment, in much the same way that a good old- fashioned tube amplifier or a good turntable will. The Bel Canto e.One Reference 1000 amplifiers are priced exceedingly fairly, they have the power to drive just about anything while not taking much shelf space. They sound extremely musical as they bridge the gap between tubes and solid-state borrowing from the best of each. Perhaps best of all is that they come in a cool-running, maintenance-free, dependable and easy-to-live-with package. At this point, I can't imagine ever having to replace them, let alone wanting to.

REF1000 Mono Audio Power Amplifier
The REF1000's..."They are smooth and refined. They are transparent to the source in a way that makes them appropriate as listening devices as well as reviewers' tools. They also deliver lots of current and they exude the kind of bold muscularity that you'd expect from amplifiers equipped to deliver 1000 watts into 4 ohms. Additionally, they deliver the tonal saturation you just may have to experience to appreciate."

e.One S300 2 Channel Audio Amplifier
I love the sound, or lack of it, of the Bel Canto S-300. ... If I had only heard one of these fine products I would, more than likely, be claiming it was the best new amplifier product ever."

M300s Mono Audio Power Amplifier
The Bel Canto e.One M300s delivered sound that satisfied. They kept me putting on more and more recordings, without any concern about finding that perfect musical match. Bel Canto has come up with a winner here, and I say that with no hype whatsoever.
