What's the solid state amp to buy $2500?

I am getting the Benchmark AHB2 amp to pair with the my existing Benchmark DAC2. Some compare this combo to the Devialet 120 integrated. It has better specs than the Devialet. Price is $2995.

Read review at The Poor Audiophile and from Hans Wetzel, SoundStage.

How the Herrons working out? Cheers,
Spencer

They are fantastic. I am getting exactly what I wanted... still 97% of the sweetness of the SET amps with way more dynamics and no fuss! I never thought that would matter but it's nice to not have to worry about the amps the way you do with tube amps.

Glad you are happy with your Herron amps and I feel you made a good choice. I have his phono-stage and it is fantastic as well. Keith is a great person to work with.

Good Luck and Happy Listening.

The Herron amps appear to be a fantastic product, albeit at $13,000 per pair of monoblocks new, so about 5 times the original budget! I know we'd all love to do the same with our budgets, congrats.
