Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition

Bringing this thread up due to PS Audio going direct, this, no more deep dealer discounts. I was hoping to have funds for the PSA BHK 250 by the end of the year. However, that has changed and now there’s only 2 weeks left for dealer orders. My preamp is the BHK pre. Before looking at the BHK 250 I was zero in on the following amps to replace my NuForce STA200:

1. ABH2

2. Carver 275

3. Rogue Stereo 100

4. Mac MC275 ( I would have to save until the end of the year)

5. PrimaLuna 

Looks like back at square one. However, I could possibly swing PSA class D M700 monos while I can still get a discount. 

I know the above amps all have have different characteristics. I’m running ZU Omen Defs ( I’ve auditioned small watt tube amps in my system...they Peter out at high volumes). 

Im wondering how the M700’s would compare to a single ABH2?

I can just say the Benchmark will not peter  out high volumes.
In fact it has a three-way gain switch which can accommodate any volume need.
Really excellent amplifier.  Certainly miles ahead of the NuForce which I’ve owned.

Thanks. The Nuforce has more than enough power. Sounds great, just lacks a bit of finesse imo. 

The Benchmark has finesse, clarity and musicality (whatever that means,)

I am considering an AHB2 but just made the switch from neutral tubes (Rogue Audio) to solid state and am not 100% happy.  I miss the transparency and midrange bloom of the tube amp.

Anyone make the switch from a tube amplifier to the AHB2 and how do you feel about it?  Thanks.
