The Benchmark AHB2 fits those criteria.
A good choice if you want an amp that produces everything upstream unadulterated. That can be a blessing or curse depending on the quality of upstream components.
Even though the amp is a lightweight and of only moderate power on paper, in practice it performs like amps that produce 50% more power. Capable of driving my magnepans to levels higher than I would care to listen. Its front-panel clipping indicator is a great feature for peace of mind. I’ve only triggered it once and that was driving my .7s to very high volume while playing a track with incredible dynamic range in my large room.
