I want to modify yesterday's statement about the deep bass performance of the AHB-2. The more I listen the more I like it, and my in-room sound pressure measurements suggest that the bass amp is weaker. Therefore my call to Benchmark regarding gain; and here's hoping they can be matched. Then, of course, funds would have to be found.
I am finding the same thing with the AHB2. With some music it really sounds great. I was about to post an ad to sell my AHB2 to fund part of the cost of buying the Coda #8 (not sure V1, V2, or V3). If I sell the AHB2 I could get the Coda at the end of this month. However, I could not pull the trigger to sell the AHB2, it is too good. Unfortunately not good all the time with the CS3.7. I will keep the AHB2 around when I want to hear that clean all Benchmark sound and also get the Coda #8.
The Coda #8 specs are as follows (8 Ohms | 4 Ohms | 2 Ohms):
- V1 150 watts w/18 watts pure class A (150 | 300 | 600)
- V2 250 watts w/12 watts pure class A (250 | 500 | 1000)
- V3 350 watts w/8 watts pure class A (350 | 700 | 1400)
$6K MSRP
I am trying to decided which version to get for my small room.
