I have owned one and then two of the Bryston 4B3s. They are wonderful amps with lots of power. But for an office they are big. If you said you were looking to drive Maggies, these would be my top recommendation. But I also currently own a pair of Benchmark AHB2s. Very transparent. Very cool running. More than enough power. You can get nice speaker cables with Neutrik connections for them from Zu Audio either on their eBay store or their website. Those would be my top recommendation for the Harbeths. If you are looking for a preamp consider the Benchmark preamp. Small and transparent. Goes great with the AHB2(s) that will bring you clean SQ (that also measure great) in smaller form factors. Enjoy!
Any advice? Parasound A21, Ayre V5xe, Benchmark AHB2, or Bryston 4B3?
Morning, I am thinking of upgrading my Musical Fidelity M1PWR Monos but would appreciate advice on which amp would fit my Harbeth 7 speakers best.This is a set up in my home office and I do not want an amp that runs hot. I have the opportunity to buy one of the following:Ayre V5xe ($2,500)
Parasound A21 ($1,500)
Benchmark AHB2 ($3,000)
Bryston 4B3 (~$3,800)Thanks.
