LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps.

In the first couple of hours of listening to the new Benchmark AHB2 with the MZ2, I can hear good things already, very promising but need a little break in time.

Kenny,

If you can from memory, how do you think the LTA betters the MW LS100, I have the latter so interested in any insights you can impart. Txs

Facten,

I won't get my MZ2 for a couple of weeks.

I sold the mw ls-100 to a friend in our local audio club and I will be borrowing it back for a direct comparison in the future.

I still have my soul shine for now and will be comparing also.


Kenny.

Lance,

Good to hear your liking the AHB2,keep us informed.

Do you think it betters the Job in your system and could you tell us the rest of your system.

What kind of cables are you using between the MZ and the AHB2,knowing the AHB2 has xlr input only.

Best,
Kenny.

Kenny,

I'm not sure how much it betters the Job since it's not entirely broken in yet. So far the AHB2 is more detailed, more clarity and neutral. The Job is a tad warmer and has better control of the bass. Both are excellent amps with the Job being the better bargain at almost half of the price. My current setup:
