Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier?
As the dust settles on the time the when the Benchmark AHB2 amplifier was a hot topic in the audio world, what is the long term consensus about this amplifier?
Has it become a mainstay in the audiophile community?
I had the stereo AHB2 with the KEFs and I was unimpressed. I think the amp is flat and without color (compared to Ayre and AGT). Also Pass A25 was much meatier.
Generally I find when the distortion goes lower, then things sounds quieter at the same measured SPL… Some people find those situations to be not to their liking.
…Irrespective of whether it is caused by the amp, speakers, or preamp… many people just really prefer some distortion.
