Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition

I’ve had the amp for nine days now. I’ve played it for at least  eight hours a day since I bought it, and it is breaking in fantastically.  The combination with the Triton 1 speaker and the Conrad Johnson preamp seems to be ideal.
i bought it with the idea of probably returning it when my old amp was fixed.
It was randomly the first amp I saw listed on Music Direct, so I sprang.
Boy, am I glad I did!!

So great to hear you found a match, I'm listening now to a recording I haven't heard for years. I still get baffled at how clear and articulate these amps are, the musicians have come alive in my room. Yes some recordings are exposed for being poor but the good one sound so damn great I can't go back!

Yep!

Very hard to do better. If it is not enough just get another one down the line. You will never need another amplifier.

Amazingly, for such a small amplifier, the Benchmark packs a load of power.  Much more solid  than the 170 watt per channel Nuforce monoblocks I was using.
With the 1600 watt subwoofer built in to the Triton 1’s, probably will never need a second one.
