Belles 150A ref V2 vs Bryston 4BSST2

I need a good power amp. Can anyone kindly advise Belles 150A ref V2 vs Bryston 3 or 4BSST2 sonically ? Both had fabulous reviews. The Bryston is much pricier but does that mean it is a totally different league altogether? Is it fair to compare these 2 ? Does it mean that Belles 150 is no match for the Bryston sonically becos of the price category?

Belles 150A is no match to 4BSST and it's totally different ligue. I'd side-by-side 4BSST with McCormack DNA225, McIntosh MC252, Krell FPB...

Buy the Belles and try it. Probably save you a lot of money. The preamp is more important anyway.

Marakanetz, are you talking about the 150A Reference (v2) or just the plain 150A -- they are significantly different amps -- and is your opinion based on experience? I've had the 150A Ref v2 and McCormack DNA-1 and the Belles was substantially better.
