![]() ![]() — John Atkinsonĭescription: Two-channel, solid-state power amplifier. Not only does its performance lie at the limits of what is possible for me to reliably test, it packs high power into a very small package, especially when used in bridged-mono mode. Reviews are plenty, but this is the most well known.īenchmark Media Systems' AHB2 is an extraordinary amplifier. Paid $3000 secondhand, it is a bargain amplifier at that price, in my view, and is a steal at $2850. Price including shipping pick up is welcome and saves $100. This would make an ideal very hi quality but compact system with eg a Mytek 192 DSD/Manhattan/Brooklyn (as you can tell I like the Mytek pre sections ) or any converter with a hi quality preamplifier section.Īustralian delivered and with all original packaging. Balanced inputs only - so will need a XLR - RCA converter if you don't run balanced. If you are looking for a small, cool running and very high quality power amplifier, at a reasonable price, and that is Class A/B, this is it. RRP is $4889 in Australia: although can be bought for $4151 here: It has, among its chief attractions, an extraordinarily low noise floor. Nothing added and with zero colouration - it really is a wire with gain. Sonically I would describe it as completely transparent. Physically small, but powerful and quiet. However, as I have a perchance for tubes, I expect to go down that path again. I bought it to partner my Mytek Manhattan, which is did extremely well (Manhattan has been sold). Onwards and upwards.īought this a few months ago off a fellow member here, who sold on behalf of a friend who bought it new in Australia. Reason for selling: Need the money for another project. ![]()
