My speakers have a minimum impedance of about 3.0 Ohms near 85 Hz and 2,000 Hz. I am only interested in a single AHB2 right now. I prefer a very detailed sound verses ultra smooth sound. That's why I love the HPA4 preamp. I kind of think the Benchmark amp would give me the detail, but will it have enough power vs. the M700's?
New Amp Choice (A or B)
So I'm considering a new amp to go between my Benchmark HPA4 preamp and Montana XP speakers. My 2 choices are The Benchmark AHB2 amp, or the PS Audio M700 mono amps. My speakers are 92 db/W at 4 Ohms, but I was wondering if the Benchmark was enough power, or if the M700' were a better fit with my 7 driver speakers. Normal listening... never killer loud. My current amp is just an old Adcom filling in.
