![]() ![]() I refer readers particularly to the reviews by: Prior reviews by others of the AHB2 are very helpful in describing the product and talking about its sound or lack thereof. I've also auditioned at stores and shows many other "contenders" before purchasing what I did.īut I feel extremely confident now that I've used the Benchmarks for months now that the AHB2, at least in the bridged mono mode that I use them, is absolutely the finest sounding and otherwise performing power amplifier I know of. The list of speakers I've owned and driven with those amps is longer yet. Harmon Kardon something (nice sounding in den system until it overheated and failed)ĭenon AVR something (den system-okay, but not as good sounding as the HK had been)Īrcam AVR600 (probably the best sounding receiver made to that point in time) It lasted for 20+ years in my bedroom system and never sounded anything other than very good in that context.ĭenon AVR5800 (basement home theater system) Lyngdorf TDAI-2170 (magnificent except for the RoomPerfect) As indicated in my post about the audio equipment I've owned, I've owned a few amps in my time before the Benchmarks, including:ĭynaco SCA-35 (my first amp and the only pure-tube component I've ever owned)ĪR Amplifier (the ideal amp for Dynaquad surround because of its built-in difference circuit-owned twice, once during college and then again to drive vintage AR speakers) To my mind, these are unquestionably the best sounding and performing amps I've owned. If you've been looking at my other recent threads ( Oppo, Benchmark, Auralic, Harbeth) you'll know that I'm now using a pair of Benchmark AHB2 amps in bridged mono configuration to drive my speakers, the Harbeth Monitor 40.2. ![]()
