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 SET line of amplifiers through the ultimate expression of this technology. The SET 40 circuit 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. Bel Canto Design's goal for the SET 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 SET 40 represents the attainment of a goal and 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.
