I've read zero reports of AHB2s failing here, so they probably haven't spent as much on long term testing as Benchmark. Everything...

Thanks. Please could you briefly explain "overload recovery" and "back EMF"? And how they lead to failure in amplifiers. Many thanks!

Apologies if this has been covered already, but what is it that fails in these amps, and is it due to excessive heat or something else...

If both are "done right", vinyl can never sound better than digital. (Assuming "better" is high fidelity ie. accuracy to the source.)

I agree. Wish this was standard practice with studio monitors. (Reckon it's more about appearances and keeping everything compact with...

Yes thanks, I'm aware of that. I am using an older Pioneer Elite SC-LX86 with Neo: X, and prefer it to the other upmixers available on it.

Yes, but this is actually why I prefer it. As I said, I play primary modern electronic music and I very much like both the envelopment...

OK. I guess this isn't something that I have encountered as I don't use height channels or upmix movies personally. I only use DTS for...

Could someone explain to me what this DTS upmixing weakness is please?

I wonder if it might be useful to list links to any relevant technical comparisons that are available online. For example, about a year...

I guess we are getting into the arcane/esoteric realm of algorithms, and how they translate both objectively and subjectively. Tricky...

I wish that there was a practical and objective way to distinguish between these various upmixers, as it seems to me that most of this...

Unfortunately we can't really learn much from this thread up until now, other than that their appearance is similar to some B&Ws...

Aye. The list of amplifiers with daft power claims is definitely a rather long one methinks.

The fact that it is hard to find kinda indicates that a link improvement is necessary. Or no? A link to a FAQ for new members being the...
