Description
No audio power amplifier offers lower noise or lower distortion than the Benchmark AHB2. Benchmark has raised the bar by introducing a new and revolutionary amplifier! True High-Resolution Audio Performance! The AHB2 is the ideal match to the performance limits of High-Resolution-Audio (HRA) formats. Benchmark's AHB2 power amplifier delivers musical details without introducing the masking effects of amplifier noise and distortion. The dynamic range of the AHB2 is 132 dB, making it 10 to 30 dB quieter than the typical reference-quality power amplifier. The frequency response extends beyond 200 kHz. With the AHB2, you will discover previously overlooked nuances, dynamics, and detail in your favorite recordings and experience the full potential of the latest high-resolution 24-bit PCM and 1-bit DSD audio formats. Experience the Full Potential of High-Resolution Audio! The musical details and emotion captured on today's finest High-Resolution Audio recordings can only be fully appreciated when every component in the signal chain is capable of true high-resolution performance. The AHB2's extended frequency response, ultra low noise, and vanishingly low distortion are key parameters contributing to accurate reproduction of high-resolution musical recordings. Experience the full emotion and detail captured in your finest recordings. The AHB2 amplifier is radically different than traditional audio amplifiers. Two new THX-patented feed-forward error-correction technologies eliminate most sources of distortion. An unconventional power supply maintains tight regulation and low ripple while minimizing magnetic fields. A low-gain topology optimizes the gain staging between the D/A converter and the power amplifier while minimizing noise. Sophisticated shielding and star-quad signal distribution provide outstanding immunity to interference. A unique output stage incorporates class-H tracking power supply rails to improve efficiency.

Product review & video
bottom line up front this runs cool like a class d amp but absolutely equals or exceeds any class a amp on the market i'm a huge nelson pass fan demos against a pass saw 30 8 and this thing was equal or better in every area it actually beat the pass in both resolution and refinement i use it with a benchmark la-4 linustage preamp and an rme audi 2fs v2 dac the ahb2 handily dispatched a parasound halo 821 and bryston for bss t2 in direct comparisons it gets you really close to tube magic without any of the hassles slash work i can say this because i own a five thousand dollars line magnetic lm805 yaw integrated tube amp which shames anything prima luna offers even the evo 400 benchmark makes incredible stuff that despite not being cheap is actually a ridiculously good value class a rated by stereophile which means world-class performance with no respect to price it's an end game amp for
