Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier?

No it’s no good. I’d be happy to make someone an appropriate offer!

It`s Mid-Fi, bettered by a Realistic receiver.😄

Benchmark is mid-fi at best. Good enough for 2nd, 3rd or desktop / office systems. 

Never listened to a Benchmark amplifier but I did own their original Dac1 back in a day and most recently owned the DAC3 HGC. If their DACs are any indication, thr amplifiers should measure great, have good feature set, posses studio monitor like sonics and accuracy that aren’t necessarily what you’re looking for in a home audio component.

Why is this a question. What makes it a lesser amp? All the reviews have been very good and while I don't find reviews to be the way I judge devices, consitency usually indicates a good product.
