Would Benchmark Amp AHB2 Pair Well with Salk Speaker (Beats, BePure, or Encore)?

I am putting together a system on paper right now but would buy in stages, perhaps starting with the AHB2. Do you think the AHB2 would pair well with Salk floorstanding speakers? I was looking at the Encore (87 dB, 8 ohm), BePure 2 (90 dB, 4 ohm), or the Beats (88 dB, 8 ohm)? My goal, at least at this stage is minimal coloration in the music and accurate/present details and nothing bright. I could always adjust things in the future with a EQ or tube pre. Big room, but I don’t listen very loud. Thanks.

I’ve used the AHB2 with my Revel Ultima Studios with music and movies at what I consider loud listening volumes and I’ve never had protection circuitry kick in. I use the HPA4 as the pre.

 

The AHB2 and HPA4 are as neutral as they come. If you hear brightness, it’s going to be in the source or the speakers.
