| GAS syndrome... Gardener's Syndrom, a constant desire to trim and improve (mods), can be as bad as GAS. | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? I appears that link above doesn't work, not to mention very long discussion. Let me show quotes from original post and two responses.OP:I don't pretend to be a professional reviewer (in fact this is the first time I've been moved to review any eq... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Randy, you mean my clumsy attempt to write review? Yes it was in comparison to Rowland 102, but it is likely not very useful, since Rowland 102 is based on old, first generation of Icepower modules. I can only say that AHB2 sounds wonderful to me ... | |
| Buyer wants copy of passport? I assume that he wants to verify that you have advertised equipment. Ask him to provide you with name of his bank, account number and the password, since you have to verify that he has sufficient funds. | |
| Buyer wants copy of passport? ABSOLUTELY NOT! How do you know that he is looking for equipment and not the passports? | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Douglas, Thank you for a fine review. I had similar problems with position of connectors. My speaker cable wires are thick and don't bend 90deg. It forces them to go down on both sides of XLR input plug. Since wire on the outside of the plug e... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Viber6, It is strange that Benchmark specified 18A max current with 18A current protection threshold and both channels driven, while now they specify 29A at 1ohm, both channels driven. Perhaps they improved something or is it just specsmanship? | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Viber6, I got AHB2 on Friday and so far I like what I hear. It started with recessed midrange, then sharp midrange, then softer midrange with extended highs. Bass got deeper. It sounds like if I would add sub to my older class D. What shall I ... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Toetapaudio, thank you for the info. I will keep it in mind. SST Ampzilla Monoblocks are too expensive for me, but perhaps Son of Ampzilla II is worth listening to, if Benchmark doesn’t work for me. I suspect that it has a lot to do with amp-speak... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? When amp sounds bright or warm it means that it is adding own harmonics to the music. Slightly warm amp might be nice to shield against bright sounding records, but many people made a quest of finding the warmest sounding gear, warmth being treat... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? John Siau said that warm sound is great for voice or guitar but bad for instruments that have more complex harmonic structures than simple overtones.His exact quote: Personally, I do not like what warm sounding equipment does to the sound of a pia... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Thank you Mapman. One of my resolutions is to spend much more time with music (and perhaps little dance) and much less with TV. | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? I don't like too warm, because that, to me implies a shelved down presence region and recessed high end. Not only that. According to technical director of Benchmark Media John Siau, overly warm sound can make instruments with complex overtones... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Aberyclark, I sure will, but it will only be my impression, coming from entry level class D. There are more experienced people to write reviews. Also, remember that I'm not looking for "warm" sound. | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Mapman, that is what I suspected - newer class D amps use either Hypex or Pascal modules.Randy, I suggested, that it is the very last moment we can buy something like that, since we're retiring in May. I also stressed out benefit of additional am... |
