PS Audio BHK versus Benchmark
Benchmark amps are known to struggle with some power and current hungry speakers, and running two will actually make that worse, not better, because it halves the impedance seen. You definitely want to call them and ask, and when you do know the i... 
Integrated amp -- Pass Labs vs Luxman vs McIntosh
A less expensive option, especially given the strong Hegel support here, and triggered by your mention of the Cambridge Audio just now.You could go with a Cambridge Audio Edge A integrated amp at $6k US. The mag HiFi news reviewed both the top-of-... 
Luxman integrated for Harbeth Compact 7's
OP how is new amp working out? 
TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please?
Anyone have a good sense about how much higher on the cost ladder one has to climb to beat the NT/505 in sound quality?I’ve heard those who’ve owned both say PS Audio DS Sr beats it at $6.9k. Anything lower cost than that? 
TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please?

Value on Electrocompaniet
Electrocompaniet is alive and well, and still being sold in US.  They just released a new super integrated amp all in one over the summer.  
Integrated amp -- Pass Labs vs Luxman vs McIntosh
Definitely Luxman (what I'd pick) or Pass of the three you listed in title.  But try to hear all of them and choose what you like. 
Musical Fidelity / B&W bad match?
Generally speaking both MF and BW on brighter side of neutral, so depends what your preferences are.  Some would love that combo.  Would be too much for me. 
Semi-Compact Integrated Amp w/ Excellent Sound Quality?
Rega Brio RPS Audio SproutTeac has a compact integrated also  
Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice.
YY which speakers?? 
Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4
Interested to see which you pick between 900u or Coda.  All good stuff. 
Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4
This thread is getting zero traction.  Too bad, I wish it would.  There must be folks out there that like Benchmark???Trying to help by bumping this up again...yy, which do you think is the higher performer, to extent such a comparison is even pos... 
Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4
