Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos

First ever post here. I have a peachtree nova 150 integrated amp, KEF LS50 metas, a Bluesound node, a vintage technics turntable and a schiit mani phono preamp. I am making the move to a separate amp and preamp. I have a preamp (a rogue rp-1) on order and I’m looking for an amp. I think I have it narrowed down to a Benchmark AHB2, a Bob Carver Crimson 275 or a Rogue Atlas Magnum 2. would appreciate any input the group might have or any alternate suggestions.

For what it is worth, one of the best audio reviewers gave rate perfect 10 ratings to both the Rogue 100 (suggested in this thread as an upgrade to the Rogue amp raised in the question ) and, more recently, the Benchmark amp.

Thank you for pointing me to these two reviews nc03854.  I have been loving my rogue stereo 100 with my KEFLS50metas, and now, and of course, am considering my next set of speakers to pair them with. 🤔

That thread on the Carver build quality was disappointing.   Looking at it, there are obviously a lot of cost saving measures going on there.   Look at the build quality of Rogue or Quicksilver,  it’s much better for less or around the same
