Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker
There are many good comments in this thread but there is also much erroneous information. In most cases, this erroneous information is based on the assumption that the AHB2 behaves like most power amplifiers. The statements made would be true of... 
Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker
Here is a plot of the no load and 6-Ohm load THD vs. output level for the AHB2. As stated above, the 6-Ohm bridged mono load is equivalent to 3-Ohm stereo loads on each output simultaneously. Note that the 6-Ohm and no-load curves are virtually id... 
Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker
This is John Siau, VP and Director of Engineering for Benchmark Media Systems.I would like to clear up some erroneous information in this thread. The AHB2 is a unique design, so some of the usual assumptions do not apply.1) The peak output current...
