Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration
I’ve owned many different Harbeths including the C 7. Have you ever considered using a tube amp? The combination of both is outstanding. I am using Quicksilver 70 watt mono amps with the Harbeth HL5.  50 watts minimum is sufficient with those Harb...

Thanks for posting!
