Amber Audio
This is the Day
Appreciate the comments, Boulder and Sugden Masterclass are in the running too but having read a few posts and reviews the AHB2 they look like a must home demo to me. Speakers are Logan 11a but likely go to the 15a - 92db, impedance drops to 0.5Ohms (91/0.6 for my 1a) but am lead to believe they are not amp killers and anything half decent with some welly is gonna be OK. Current amps are Bel Canto Ref600M. Do you run a stereo or a pair in Mono? My room is in a total upheaval at present, I’ll post a pic once it has settled down and halfway tidied up.Sorry if I’m butting in but I’ve recently aquired one and I find it truly superb. Of coarse system matching will be key but I don’t find it dry or bright at all. It sounds very similar to the Boulders I had but sweeter and if it’s possible...quieter. My speakers are 106db though so the lack of noise is a huge factor for me.
In my time I’ve had exotic valve amps of every variety, excellent class D’s and big money Class A & AB’s from Sugden to Boulder.....the Benchmark has ended my big money power amp purchases for good...
