Bel Canto grew from the quest to achieve the ultimate musical
satisfaction from an audio system. This goal 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 Orfeo line of
amplifiers through the ultimate expression of this technology. The Orfeo amplifier
was developed to be used 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 the better part of a decade this quest continued and has
resulted in a line of fine audio amplifiers that are designed to incorporate the
unparalleled musical reproduction of the single-ended triode architecture, with the
esthetic qualities of fine woods and metals. Bel Canto Design's goal for the Orfeo
Line is simply to provide the most expressive and powerful musical experience
outside of the live event. Bring some of the greatest musicians and their
performances into the intimacy of your home, for many years to come.
The
Orfeo 60
presented in the following pages is designed to provide
very high value and to retain this value for many years, both because of the quality
of design and manufacturing and also the timelessness of each component's
musical performance.
