Benchmark AHB2 compared to Rogue Atlas Magnum III


Very different amps.  Paired with Revels F208, and a Benchmark DAC3, do you thing there will be a difference in the sound?  I am unsure if the F208's can reveal the differences.  If there were to be a difference with these speakers or an upgraded speaker, what might the differences sound like, or maybe not much difference between two great amps?  Thanks.  I have never owned a tube amp.  I have listened to this Rogue amp on different speakers though.

Very different amps indeed, and I’m sure your excellent speakers will easily reveal the differences.  It completely depends on what improvements/sound characteristics you’re after.  What amp are you using now?  The Rogue will add a little — though not too much — tube warmth and tonal color/richness whereas the Benchmark will give you a similar sonic signature of your DAC, that being very detailed and neutral.  Your call.
