The "Bella SE10" is a single ended stereo amplifier providing up to 10 watts per channel with a single 6L6 per channel. It is voiced to offer solid state speed with vacuum tube soul.  The Bella SE10 provides body, warmth and texture while maintaining an accurate reproduction of the entire frequency range. Bass is deep, tight, fast and authoritative with just the right balance of body when mated with speakers of 91dB or higher.

A clean, crisp yet lively midrange and upper end with an uncanny sense of air and detail brings emotion back to your listening experience. The use of quality components throughout allows for a great sense of detail, transparency and resolution while maintaining the musical purity true music lovers lust for.

Why single ended? With the right pair of speakers, the 10 watts produced by the Bella SE10 will provide you with an intimacy in your listening experience that simply cannot be provided by other designs. Bella Extreme is also developing a few high efficiency loudspeaker designs to mate with the Bella SE10.

The Bella SE10 was designed and voiced as a perfect companion for the 'Basis' linestage with or without the built in PhonoMax phono stage. For those with a single source component, the Bella SE10 is also available with a built in volume control as shown in the rendering below.

The Bella SE10 is contained within our dual, split chassis design with the PowerMax power supply and mates perfectly with our 'Basis' linestage and 'PhonoMax' phono stage making for the perfectly matched Musica Bella system.

The SE10 is available in two different versions. The standard version uses high quality Panasonic electrolytic filter capacitors with quality film bypass capacitors in the power supply and smaller output transformers with a frequency response limited to 40Hz-18kHz.

Step up to the SE10 Reference you move into a power supply that uses only polypropylene filter capacitors throughout and choke filtration as well as larger, higher quality transformers providing a full response of 20Hz-20kHz.

 

Available with single input and volume control or as a straight power amplifier.

Frequency response: 40Hz-18kHz - standard
                                      20Hz-20kHz - Reference

Pricing: Standard $2,295
               Reference $2,695

Connecting the PowerMax power supply to the amplifier circuit will be a custom built umbilical cord long enough for both vertical and horizontal placement. Longer lengths are available upon request.
