Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions?

Thanks for invite. People must love the amp...not may used (or they return them quickly after purchasing). I'm hoping, after new year, to try one in my system. I have to say, my NuForce STA200 is sooo good as I have everything dialed in great. However, the thought of the ultra quiet Benchmark, with my RP-5 tube preamp and ZU omen defs really sounds appealing.

I've had the AHB2 for the past few weeks, and absolutely love it!  Paired it with Hyperion HPS-738s and Dynaudio EX34s.  Dead quiet, wonderful bass control.

I've installed some Neutrik NL2FX connectors on my speaker cables and not sure how much of a difference it makes in comparison to the regular binding posts, but I sure love having the option.  It's a solid connection for sure.

So much impact & clarity for such a small amp.  Thinking about picking up another one in the near future to run as monos.

I would probably buy the actual Benchmark speaker cables. I believe on another forum, a couple said they were quite good.

I have an all Benchmark system - DAC3L > HPA4 pre > 2x AHB2 in bridged mono.

I completely disagree with the comments that the AHB2 is clinical sounding. To me it sounds beautifully balanced and fully capable of reproducing the full range of musical colours and emotions. Notice I say reproducing. The AHB2 is definitely not a coloration machine for injecting flavour, it's an 'as is' device for reproducing whatever is provided by the source. 

I've had 6-7 amplifiers of all types through my system in recent years and have found that amplifiers with 'flavour' eventually become tiresome as the 'thumbprint' is heard on everything that passes through them. I prefer the revealing, chameleon like, character of the AHB2 where the sound changes with the qualities/intricacies of the source. 
I also appreciate these qualities in the ATC monitors I'm using in my system and find the combination musically compelling. YMMV.

@tobes thanks I am considering Benchmark AHB2. How does it compare to latest Class D offerings like Legacy Powerbloc , ATI AT523NC , Nord , Apollon and Hattor etc?. Did you ever get a chance to compare with Class D amps?.
