I take it that you meant getting another AHB2, and run each in bridged mono? That would give you 500W on tap.
( "Bi-amp" usually refers to using one amp for the low frequency drivers and another for the mid- and high-frequency drivers. I don't think much of that.)
Since you've been a member since 2023, I'm sure that you have seen the reviews of both the AHB2 and the Revel ... right?
Back in 2019, I reviewed the Benchmark AHB2 Stereo Amplifier. I received a second sample from a kind member to update the measurements. Originally the AHB2 cost $3000 but now, $3,500.
As you see, it is a compact but very nice looking amplifier. I appreciate the clipping indicator which seemed accurate in testing. Back panel shows both SpeakOn and traditional binding posts:

There is also a current thread on the AHB2 that you might find interesting.

I can have these crated and shipped from a dealer for 6400 USD vs. 8000 USD from other sources. If I was to need to bridge w/ another AHB2, the savings would mitigate the cost.

Serving as mono-blocks was the intent. However, unlike my M105's and M106's, these are equipped for bi-amping. The only reason I asked was Amirm's comment when measuring them "Impedance dips low and with some phase angle so you better have a stout amplifier to drive the F228be:".I take it that you meant getting another AHB2, and run each in bridged mono?

They come in road crates and would ship via a freight courier, likely bound on a pallet. These are silver, which to me is more of a metallic grey. I like it, it’s neutral in most rooms, not the same old black monoliths. I did not like the walnut finish in person. It looked a little fake to me. When I said these are mint, they still have the little protective plastic tape over the emblems. The bass is fantastic. Unless you’re in large room, I doubt you would need two AHB2s. If I don’t sell these, I’m still going to sell one of the amps, because it’s not needed.
My room is ~14w x 16 deep. I appreciate the input regarding another amp. I would be curious as to the desired price for the amp.
Stay tuned.
