Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions?

I bought the cables.  They are so reasonably priced I thought it was worth a try.

The Speakon connector is very easy to use; trying to fit my other cables' spades into those insulated posts with downward-pointing entrance slots is a pain.  The back of the amp is really tight on space.

I don't feel the Benchmark cables were an improvement... it was more of a wash. Guess I thought something was not quite there, and in the end I put back my Omega Mikros, even though it's less convenient.  But the fact that the difference was not hugely noticeable (in my system) points to the Benchmark cables as being a good value.

A wash is how it should be. If everything is working fine and your amp and speakers are well matched then the cables should make no discernable audible difference. 

I would guess a dead quiet amp like the Benchmark may highlight cable differences more. Just a guess

Try disconnecting your amp at the amplifier end and listen to the noise of the speaker wires. Generally speaker wires run at high signal levels and speakers are rather inefficient and are rarely able to pick up any RF/EM speaker cable noise to be even close to audible.
