Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged?

@pinwa 

I bought my BHK 300s used about a year ago. I upgraded from the M700s which worked quite well with my Kef Reference 5 spkrs. I have to say the upgrade was significant, I was surprised at the smoothness the amps bought to my system. I have been very happy with them, they will remain in my system for a long time.

Good luck with your choice 

Why not a GaN amp? You can find stock LSA GN 350s for under $2K, then send to Ric Schultz (Tweak Audio) for very reasonably priced upgrades, or there is/was a moded one in Melbourne FL for sale

PS Audio has a good deal on the BHK300 right now so you may want to give them a call to find out what they can do for you.

Ps audio bhk easily over the benchmark. All benchmark products especially their dacs are so bright sounding, goes past cool/analytical sounding. I have the BHK.

First Agon post, so be gentle…

Just bought new AHB2 (after hunting for local used deal for awhile), and paired it with my DAC3 HGC, it’s brought new life to my entire system. I love it. 

Strong, silent, cool-running personality. Gets out of the way and lets the music come through. Breathed new clarity and punch into my PSB Synchrony Ones. I find it very musical, especially with great recordings  I listen to a variety of jazz, blues, pop, rock  

system: Quobuz via fibre/FMC to Lumin U2 mini, AQ Coffee USB to Benchmark DAC3 HGC, 8” XLR to AHB2, Kimber Cable to PSB Syncs. Amp running off dedicated 20A isolated ground line.

Benchmark support is first-class. Rory responds quickly and in detail to emails.  The AHB2 feels solid, bullet-proof. Like the pro gear it is.

Hope this vote encourages you to at least audition the AHB2. Good luck with your new gear!
