@smer319 i called you when I was in the market to buy the p3000 hv (which I now own) and you hung up on me. 

@arctikdeth what do you mean “sign up at Martin Logan for a discount” 

This is for only 1 mono amp, but I am a little surprised at this price.

I think it would match your slightly warm preamp. Though you would need to find a second mono block.

I am 2/3 of my way in buying an all Benchmark electronics chain for 1 of my systems. Still need to get the AHB2 at $3K each. Two AHB2’s running in mono block format gives you 380 watts at 8 Ohms and have been demoed with Martin Logan at shows.

I inquired with Benchmark whether the sound is degraded when switching from stereo to mono block. They said it sounds even better in mono, but then they sell 2 units. However, I tend to believe the statements from Benchmark.

The AHB2 is a completely different sound than anything I have heard and my not be agreeable to you. So Benchmark offers a 30 day home trial. I bought Benchmark gear from a dealer. This was at a discount since I did not require a home trial. So possible to get these great amps at $6K or under.
