Its job is to render a near perfect high-power replica of the incoming line-level signal. The AHB2 is not intended to enhance or sweeten the music. In developing the product, we focused on distortion, frequency response, phase accuracy, damping factor, noise, and efficiency. "The AHB2 will sound different than other amplifiers.The THX patents gave us a tool to virtually eliminate distortion from high-power push-pull output stages. EXTRAordinary.Ī bit more from John Siau of Benchmark, before I start chipping in my two penn'th Now that I have one nestled in my system, its not hard to see why. There is nothing ordinary about the Benchmark AHB2"ĭesigned for the pro-market where it was launched to huge acclaim, it is rapidly getting recognition in the audiophile market. The result is an amplifier that is significantly quieter, cleaner, smaller, and more efficient than any traditional design. "In summary, Benchmark has taken a radical approach to audio amplification, has leveraged patented technologies (licenced from THX Ltd) and has reversed many common practices. To quote the last paragraph of the user manual And this latest product from the same designer, pioneers truly new design ideas (many of them patented to THX, Jones, and Fincham, or combinations of them). The Pip amplifier launched under that brand pioneered the transconductance idea (among others). But Pink Triangle was about thinking out of the box and pushing the boundaries. ![]() There is nothing wrong with evolving, striving to perfect, and varying existing technology. ![]() With apologies to Monty Python - but this is my roots.
