Bella Sound Kahili Amplifier Review

April 6, 2024 Comments Off on Bella Sound Kahili Amplifier Review

One more album that has been in rotation around here is a 48kHz/24-bit download of Marcus Miller’s Laid Black. You don’t realize that “Trip Trap,” the first cut, is a live recording until the fade out when you hear the audience. The album effectively utilizes Miller’s interesting blend of jazz, funk, soul, and hip-hop. This cut has a jazzy swing about it with Miller’s bass center stage. The Kahili amps grabbed every funky bass note and pumped it out and everything swung hard.
During setup I had simply placed the Kahili amps in the system connected with exactly the same cabling that was used for my Krells. Bella Sound had provided their Kaula2 power cables, so once I felt I had a reading on the sound of the amps, I substituted the Bella Sound power cords. Chances are, if you hear this amp at a show or in a showroom, it’s likely powered by its own Kaula2 cords. Although the inclusion of the cord brings the price of ownership to just $500 short of $30k, I suspect many purchasers of this amp with opt to include the cord, which is exquisitely constructed. There was an immediate synergy between the amp and the power cord. The basic nature of the amp was not changed but subtly sweetened and enriched.
