  • AHB2 Review & Bench Test - Andrew Everard, Hi-Fi News

    Hi-Fi News Logo

    AHB2 - "I was struck by just how much focus and clarity was on offer"

    "I was struck by just how much focus and clarity was on offer. It’s not one of those ‘oh, I never heard that before’ things: instead it’s just a delicious sense of the music having more presence and vitality about it ..."

    "This is an amplifier with very serious slam, and – even better for those with less sensitive speakers, big rooms or just a hankering for ‘just in front of the PA stack’ listening levels – it keeps it all together however loud you decide to play things."

    "This is an amplifier seemingly impossible to wrongfoot, and capable of delivering a quite remarkable sound from a seemingly impossibly small package. If that doesn't make you smile every time you listen, I don't know what will."

    - Andrew Everard, Hi-Fi News

    "Benchmark has avoided any obvious ingress of switching noise into the audio band as its AHB2 has quite the widest A-wtd S/N ratio of any amplifier I've measured in some 30 years."

    Why Did You Buy Benchmark Gear?

    "I'm asking because clearly Benchmark is a highly regarded company here, and plenty of ASR members own Benchmark amplification/DACs. We know they are top of the heap in terms of measured performance, outdoing plenty of the competition in terms of typical distortion measurements."

    AXPONA Review - Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity

    by Benchmark Media Systems April 23, 2023 1 min read

    "The afternoon before the start of the show I ran into John Siau of Benchmark Media Systems. He says to me quietly, “make sure you stop in our room, we have a surprise!” With curiosity suitably piqued, Co-Editor Jim Clements and I paid a visit ..."

    "The results were pretty astonishing. A stable, enveloping stereo image that was devoid of any distortion whatsoever."

    AXPONA Show Report - Stereophile Magazine

    by Benchmark Media Systems April 21, 2023 1 min read

    "Sound was extremely well-integrated and controlled, and the bass memorable."

     "The Note received signal through the introductory version of the company's Liquid Cables. Each cable contains 27,000 wires. The company's introductory Elephant memory player joined Benchmark Media's AHB2 power amps, DAC3 B D/A processor, and interconnects."

    "With the aid of a forthcoming DEQX HDP4 processor that's due in the fall, the system sounded super on a 16/44.1 file of the famed rendition of Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man, recorded by Eiji Oue and the Minnesota Orchestra for Reference Recordings."
