If you're considering the purchase of a Benchmark AHB2, I'd suggest caution. It is very speaker dependant and can (with normally exciting speakers) sound drain the life from them.

I have Avantgarde speakers and, on the raving recommendation by a fellow AG owner, I bought the AHB2 unheard - it was brand new and not available on demo in UK and no reviews. What a disappointment - it's DULL. It has now been sold and I have a number of MUCH better suited amplifiers to use. Read the Stereophile review and its add-ons by other reviewers to see what I mean. They liked the amp with serious reservations.
