FS/US - Benchmark AHB2

[Martini]

I’m letting go of one of my Benchmark AHB2 amplifiers. I’ve changed my system over to a Genelec system, so really don’t need my Benchmark stack any more, just having a hard time parting with it, as it really is great equipment. The unit was used in a bridge-mono set up, driving Revel F328Be speakers. The LA4 and DAC3B Sold may also be available . The amp is in excellent condition and will be packed/shipped in the original box via UPS or FedEx.

$2450 +Shipping - PayPal preferred, Money Order or Certified Check acceptable, but will not ship until it clears.

PM about to be sent for DAC3 B...

What Genelecs did you get? I have the lowly 8040B's but I am actually kinda impressed with them. I am at a crossroad and not sure which path (maybe both paths?) to follow. A pair of studio Genelecs has great appeal but having a pair of AHB2's with a miniDSP opens the world of custom speaker building and tinkering with drivers, building cabinets and playing with eq/crossover settings and is certainly cheaper than experimenting with passive crossover designs that often cost more than the drivers drivers themselves.

A pleasure to deal with on the DAC3 B transaction. Highly recommend buying from @Martini

I have pair of 8351c and 7370a Sub. The near-field listening position in this room is better than what I was able to achieve with the F328Be's. That's not a slight to the Revels, it is just Genelecs proved the better tool for the room. I can't advise on your dilemma on electronic and building your own passives vs. powered monitors, since I've not the time or desire to go that route. I'd get too frustrated with all the options (and my own mistakes -Lol).
