I had the M700s and while quite nice, BUT, the LSA Voyager GaN 350 amp is in an entirely different league, and on sale for a few more days! $24-2700
There are a couple threads on them in Agon
New Amp Choice (A or B)
So I'm considering a new amp to go between my Benchmark HPA4 preamp and Montana XP speakers. My 2 choices are The Benchmark AHB2 amp, or the PS Audio M700 mono amps. My speakers are 92 db/W at 4 Ohms, but I was wondering if the Benchmark was enough power, or if the M700' were a better fit with my 7 driver speakers. Normal listening... never killer loud. My current amp is just an old Adcom filling in.

The stock Voyager sounds stronger on bass on my 2 Ohms speakers than the AHB2. However, on the 3 Ohms speakers in a small room the extra power of the Voyager may not stand out. The AHB2 was preferred by me over the stock Voyager for detail and clarity. The modded Voyager became similar to the AHB2 on the top end, which was a big deal. I will be burning in a new KRELL 175XD amp with my LA4 preamp (same as HPA4) in the near future (amp on order). This amp is not destined for the LA4 (a CODA 07x preamp is) but you never know, I think it could be a great pairing. A warm KRELL with the totally neutral LA4.
