Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition

Recently researching for a new amplifier I read a long involved thread about the AHB2 that included a lot of technical discussion and some subjective comments about the sound quality.  
The AHB2 made my short list but I ultimately went in a different direction.  
The people that did not care for them had a common theme- lack of dynamics and excitement.  
Some people that liked the amp overall also thought that dynamics were not its strong point.  
FWIW.  

I am considering an AHB2 but just made the switch from neutral tubes (Rogue Audio) to solid state and am not 100% happy.  I miss the transparency and midrange bloom of the tube amp.

Anyone make the switch from a tube amplifier to the AHB2 and how do you feel about it?  Thanks.
