Popular Post ecwl Posted June 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2021 I think it’s hard to find a truly “bad” amplifier in your price range. Technically, the Benchmark AHB2 is probably the best amp in your price range and should be more than enough to power your system. But sometimes, when you have too much transparency, you start hearing the flaws of your other components. I think your dealer recommendations of the Arcam PA240 and Audio Control Avalon G4 are great. Ideally, you’d want to find out if you can get an at-home demo. My suspicion is that you’ll prefer the Arcam (having listened to it before) whereas I’ve only listened to older Audio Control amplifiers in home theatre systems. The main advantages of getting from your dealer are warranty service and the ability to demo the product. And as a general principle, I prefer to support my local dealers whenever possible because to me, there are a surprisingly amount of bad or overpriced products out there that get phenomenally positive online reviews so if all the local dealers die off, it becomes more difficult to separate the gems from the garbage. botrytis and Revelation 2 Link to comment
