Preferring subtlety over flash Belles amplifiers have always taken a conservative approach in appearance. But dont let that fool you. Belles are considered a ‘best buy’ in audiophile amps with the 350A retailing new for $3500.
The power rating is 250Wpc into 8 ohms and 400Wpc into 4 ohms. The 17"W x 5 1/4"H x 16 1/2"D, 65-pound, dual mono 350A has the circuit boards and output devices mounted directly on the heat sinks to minimize internal wiring. A single 2000kVA transformer is used rather than a pair of 1000kVA transformers to provide more current for bass transients.
The top of this unit has some scratches as though another piece of gear was dragged over it, should be unnoticeable if placed in a rack.
The following is an excellent overview of this world class amp David Belles

The Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 series (including SE and SV MKII models) are highly-regarded 2-way bookshelf speakers known for using advanced aluminum ribbon tweeters (often the G2i model) and 5.25-inch carbon fiber/Kevlar composite mid-woofers. These compact speakers, often in piano black lacquer, feature a rear-ported design, offering a 55Hz-40kHz frequency response, high-quality crossover components (like M-Cap Supreme capacitors), and a 50-100W power rating.
Key Features and Specifications:
Tweeter: G2/G2i Aluminum Ribbon Tweeter for detailed high frequencies.
Woofer: 5.25" AC-130F1/AC130/50CK composite cone (non-woven carbon fiber/Kevlar).
Design: 2-way vented-box, often with heavy, high-quality MDF cabinets.
Frequency Response: Roughly 55Hz - 40kHz (±3dB).
Sensitivity: 87dB/W/m.
Impedance: 8 ohms nominal (approx. 6.4 ohms minimum).
Dimensions/Weight: Compact bookshelf size; known to be relatively heavy for their size.
Finish: Commonly found in Cherry, Rosewood, or Maple (matte or high-gloss).
The Leisure 2 series is often noted for its "fast" and "musical" sound, often compared favorably to more expensive, established audiophile brands due to its high-quality components and, in some cases, shared manufacturing roots.
Price includes stands with isolation feet, feet show some signs of wear
