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

It seems clear that the AHB2 is system dependent.  In my system it is perfection.  
However, I believe all those who find it terrible.  Their ears are not deceiving them.

@ricevs I do remember reading about this GAN 1 amp now. Now that you have compared it to the Voyager, I will believe what you say. Ric's mod of the Voyager was great. It was almost like the AHB2 for my ears, with more power than the stereo AHB2. Since I had the AHB2 I decided to sell the Voyager.

BTW - the AHB2 monos (what I use) are close to 400 watts (or maybe 500) without increased distortion as you usually see when you switch a stereo amp to mono.

The GaN 400 is the same as the Voyager......the GaN 1 is the new digital input only amp. The Kef Blade 2 Meta’s do not have that low of impedance and are 87db sensitive, so 200 watts will get you at least 107db. How loud do you listen?

Nice to see folks are enjoying their Benchmark amplifiers and that there is not a ton of mud slinging here.
