Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition

Benchmark is selling them as fast as they make them, along with the new preamp(s). There is a 3 week waiting period to get it. When I got mine a few years ago (not much people knew about it) there was no wait..

Just curious if the following speaker can be vertically bi-amped? There is a photo of the back of the speaker on the link below.

This amp has a great clear sound because of the low noise floor. I have not owned another amp that sounded like it. I sold it a few months ago to raise some cash and I am considering buying another AHB2 for a bedroom system (KEF LS50 speakers).

There were some things that bugged me about the amp when I compared it to a Mark Levinson integrated (585). The ML had better ability to make the speakers I was auditioning disappear (Magico A3).

@douglas_schroeder  Ever consider making a youtube video of your cable format? 

I have asked Benchmark to put their new preamp + DAC + amp under a single chassis. I did not like the DAC3 driving the volume on my AHB2. The new preamp is supposed to be an improvement over the DAC3 volume. I hope to see a Benchmark integrated in the future.

The review mentioned above.

Rather interesting that Benchmark is out of stock.
