it's an amplifier with THX technology inside
Others, like Henry Wolcott have used a feed forward approach before and gotten similarly *wonderful* metrics. As have those using multi-rail power supplies.
It also got a very good subjective review by Kalman Rubinson.
"... but through a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 8 speakers, the sound was somewhat hard and thin. "
Yeah, give me more of that!
From the same review:
"Just because I found Benchmark Media Systems AHB2 not to be absolutely perfect under all conditions - after all, what is? - Doesn't mean that I want to represent it as anything less than a marvelous sounding amplifier. The AHB2 was capable of drawing more music from my B&W 800 Diamonds than I'd anticipated and mostly sounded better than the other amplifiers I've used to drive those speakers." .
Yeah, give me more of that!
I think "we" have a tendency to cherry pick data points out of context to support a personal POV.

Perhaps. I would never buy an amplifier, however, that sounds thin and bright - at any time.
Don't know quite where to go with that one so I'll pass. ;-)
