???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???

Orchard Audio Starkrimson Ultra

Coda S5.5

The very best sound quality is from single-ended amps. But they typically have too low power output for most speakers. The next best sound is Benchmark AHB2. 

Here's my review:

Benchmark AHB2 Power Amplifier – 10 Audio

BMC CS3 from Germany. 8,000 Euros. The catch is it must be paired with another BMC dac or source.

@imjerrys I know reviewers and friends that have long term experience with the AHB2 say the AHB2 sucks all the soul out of music. 

But others also really like them. I don't quite understand if this is a gear mismatch or what. But the AHB2 falls into my weird list.
