3 choices for power amp


I am ready to upgrade my power amp.

I am currently using the amp section of a Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated Amp, thru the HT input.

My preamp is Atma-Sphere MP 3.3 Mk III.

My speakers are Acoustic Zen Crescendo MkII.

I have narrowed down my choices to the following 3:

Benchmark AHB2, Atma-Sphere Class D, or AGD Tempo.

Has anybody compared any 2 or all 3 of these in their system?

I would appreciate your feedback.  Thanks!!

Based on my experience, you are most likely to get the best sound quality by staying within brand.

I haven't heard your three choices but have an extremely good, modern class D stereo amp.

My Coda S5.5 stereo amp, for not that much more than the above, given a side by side comparison, would make anyone considering class D reconsider.

I believe there are others in the following link that feel the same way.

Coda S5.5 Class A Stereo Amp Thread

@hsounds Have you auditioned the Coda S5.5 along with the Galleon A75 with your speakers in your room, level matched, etc? Or any Coda amp?

@hsounds Not sure why you answered the question privately as others in this thread may have the same question.

What exactly does "All I can say it has been tested per your question" mean? Which Coda amp(s)? By whom? Under what conditions?

Nonsense, Shill.

Quite the opposite. It's folks like you that cause genuine enthusiasts to not trust these forums.
