Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect?
I wish more amps had gain adjustments like the Benchmark. Accuphase comes to mind for the gain feature. I always wanted to try an Accuphase amp, however, way pricey (for me anyway) 
Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect?
I got the message a day after I signed up for email notification when available. BM also provides a preorder link 
Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect?
I'm now on the email list when the amps get back in stock. I guess if you had one and decided to move on to something else, now would be the time to list it

Since my speakers are 101 db efficient and my current 80 watt amp will run you out of the room, I'm probably good with a single unit. However, I always wanted monoblocks.

Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition
I found it interesting the amp is out of stock thru Benchmark direct. Back ordered at B&H. Maybe some issue with part shortages or manufacturing plant. One would think that if a new version was close, one would hear something at recent audio s...

Has anyone owned the ABH2 for a considerable amount of time and then decided to change? Just curious on long term impressions on the Benchmark.I've been running back and forth in my mind between tubes (Quicksilver, Rogue stereo 100, mc275) or stay... 
Rogue RP-7 vs. New RP-9 - What's the Difference?
I have and love the RP-5. I always thought the RP-7 was a balanced version of the RP-5 without the phono. I'm sure there was more to it than that. I'll be curious how the RP-9 compares to the RP-7 AND Rp-5. 
Rogue RP-7 vs. New RP-9 - What's the Difference?
Interesting 
I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative?
I am thinking of PL's myself (leaning toward Quicksilver though) and I would just remove the cages if the look does not suit me. I believe if one uses a kt150 tube, the cages must come off anyway 
Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
sorry to hear. McIntosh is one of those great "classic" American companies. Let's hope McIntosh does not go down the path of older "classic US names" like GM and start building junk.  
McIntosh mc275
