Thoughts on the Belles MB-01 class A monoblocks?

I was just wondering if any fellow audiophiles have an opinion/experience with these fine Belles MB-01 class A Monoblock amplifiers vs other class A models, such as Clayton, Pass, and Karan.

One thing I have heard about Clayton is that they are prone to hum/and possibly ground loops. Other than equipment failure, few other things disturb me as much :)

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

I just heard the belles mono blocks the other day and they were incredible. Speakers were german physiks carbon MkIV's and 3A reference top of the line. Not quite enough power for the physiks for me but they were stunning with the 3A's. also paired with the belles pre amp. As good as any mono's I've heard. Same dealer also had the vitus mono's which were also incredibly good.

I am going to hear the belles 500w monoblocks next week (Palmetto audio) so you might give steve at palmetto a call (listed on agon) I own the Physiks (Which I run with 4 ML 436's ) but he will be using the 3A signatures with the belles next week. The vitus we were using was the 60 watt class a. I have not heard the clayton or Karan's.
