Carefully designed to deliver a well-balanced
musical presentation and long-term listening pleasure, the Bella
EXtreme 100 monobloc amplifiers combine the finest sonic
attributes of classic tube amplification (midrange accuracy, smooth
tonal character, and smooth yet extended high-frequency resolution)
to enhance the listener’s emotional involvement with the music.
As with all Bella EXtreme products, the Bella
Extreme 100 amplifiers utilize a unique circuit design that
demonstrates our beliefs in using premium parts, shorter signal
paths, top notch build quality. Every pair of Bella EXtreme
100 monobloc amplifiers are proudly hand-made in the USA and
carefully tested, inspected, and packaged before being sent to you
for your listening enjoyment.
Over 3 years of research and development
has gone into this product with a goal of becoming a true reference
product. The Bella EXtreme 100's are providing you with 100
watts pentode and 60 watts in triode of glorious 6550/KT88 tube power which will drive most loudspeakers
with grace and ease.
The
craftsmanship is absolutely first rate, featuring hand built
point-to-point wiring right here in our New York facility.
Don't
mistake this for yet another mass produced, off the shelf product. As
you can see in our construction details, we use some of the finest
passive components available in the industry to assemble these
products. Only the highest grade V-Cap and SoniCap Teflon capacitors are used in both the coupling and power supply
bypass locations. A combination of Mills
non-inductive and Dale Vishay 1% resistors are also chosen for
critical areas. We use resistors with a wattage rating that is 2x to
5x higher than required to provide the quietest presentation with the
lowest noise floor.
All
components and construction was chosen for it's sonic integrity rather
than designing for a price point.
Our
attention to detail and the quality of construction within the EXtreme
100 amplifiers is every bit as detailed and thorough as any Bella
EXtreme product to leave our facility and possibly among the best in the industry. When
matched with the right associated equipment, these amplifiers become and
exceptional choice for even the most discriminating listeners.
Cable
manufacturing guru Robert Lee of Acoustic Zen bought a pair of Bella
100's after showing his new Adagio loudspeakers with them at Rocky
Mountain Audio Fest 2006.
Don't
need 100 watts of power? Not a problem. With just the flick of a
switch, you can have 60 watts of sweet triode sound driving your speakers.
TRIODE
VS PENTODE: Some say Triode is the ‘BEST’ way to listen to
tubes. Although the output decreases, usually 40%-50%, the
bandwidth increases, the distortion decreases, and
damping factor increases as compared to PENTODE operation.
We
gladly invite you to compare the Bella EXtreme 100 mono bloc
amplifiers to other similar designs costing twice their price. Many others
already have.

(BELOW) RMAF 2006 Bella EXtreme
100 Debut with ModWright, Acoustic Zen and VPI.

World debut
review of the Bella EXtreme 100 monobloc amplifiers
"....Try as I might to find an alternative,
the conclusion I consistently have about these amplifiers is that they
are much closer to perfection than any other amplifier in my
experience. In fact, I find them faultless...."
