Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition


I just ordered the Benchmark AHB2 amplifier.  
I would appreciate any comments on this amp from users, or any opinions of competing amps in the $2000-$3000 range.
My speakers are the GoldenEar Triton 1’s.  Preamp: Conrad Johnson PV11 modified with Teflon caps.

Benchmark is selling them as fast as they make them, along with the new preamp(s). There is a 3 week waiting period to get it. When I got mine a few years ago (not much people knew about it) there was no wait..
Recently researching for a new amplifier I read a long involved thread about the AHB2 that included a lot of technical discussion and some subjective comments about the sound quality.  
The AHB2 made my short list but I ultimately went in a different direction.  
The people that did not care for them had a common theme- lack of dynamics and excitement.  
Some people that liked the amp overall also thought that dynamics were not its strong point.  
FWIW.  
I don't  see how those speakers could be vertically bi-amped yyzsantabarba there's only one set of binding posts you could use monoblocks.
My Benchmark amp is about two years old. It replaced a First Watt F6.  About a year ago, I purchased a Benchmark LA4. It replaced a Audio by Van Alstine T10 RB tube preamp.  Awesome sound!
