Bel Canto Design grew from the quest to achieve the ultimate
musical satisfaction from an audio system. This quest began with the discovery of
the inherent sonic qualities and musical performance potential of a nearly
forgotten technology, the single-ended triode amplifier. The ability of this type of
amplifier to recreate the musical experience and evoke a powerful emotional
response in the listener, much like the live event, inspired the development of the
SET line of amplifiers through the ultimate expression of this technology. The
SET circuit was developed for use as both a cornerstone for a modern audio
system and as a reference tool to explore the reasons behind the single-ended
triode amplifier's uniquely musical attributes.

For more than ten years this effort has continued and the
result is a unique line of fine audio amplifiers and preamplifier that are designed
to embody the unparalleled musical reproduction of the single-ended triode
architecture. Bel Canto Design's goal simply to provide the most expressive and
powerful musical experience outside of the live event and bring some of the
greatest musicians and their performances into the intimacy of your home.
