@easystreamer, others
Tell us more about that lightweight pair of Benchmark AHB2 please

What do you like about your integrated amp?
So, the other day I was moving my ARC REF 75 amp to clean the insides, along with the shelf it was sitting on, when suddenly I felt a stabbing pain in one of my obliques, as I was twisting my body.
Shouting out a quick, "Oh f***," my wife said, "What are you going to do when you get older, and can't move the amp?" I have periodically wondered that myself, since I am just shy of 71.
As the discussion title says-what do you like about your integrated amp? It's a wide-open query because I'm thinking if I'm going to consolidate my equipment, let's see what's out there? I'm partial to tube equipment and have enjoyed Audio Research for almost 30 years. Does that mean I should get an ARC integrated? Maybe, maybe not.
FTR--I listen to lots of jazz, folk, classical, not that much rock beyond what I grew up listening to-Beatles, the Dead, the Stones--stuff like that. I have a pair of ProAc 30Rs, an Aurender server, and an ARC CD6SE.
All your comments are appreciated-
David

During this Arctic blast I miss my 130 lbs Pass Class A Mono Blocks..but overall I'm thrilled to have those 2 huge boxes gone, as well as my 2 piece Pass preamp and Sim phono stage, all 350 lbs replaced by a 57 pound Integrated w/Phono...I actually never lifted the Pass, had friends take care of it and never agin until boxed up for shipping... |
