Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile?
@jfrmusic As another data point, I have one AHB2 for my Focal speakers. I like the AHB2 at this stage in my path, but it is not be for everyone. I have been considering a second AHB2 and enjoy trying different arrangements and listening for diffe... 
Bryston Cubed Amps in Bridge Mode
@jimmy2615 Thanks.  That's helpful.    
Bryston Cubed Amps in Bridge Mode
@jimmy2615 What benefits did you find running the amps vertically biamped? When you vertically biamped, did you use shorter cables between the amp and the speaker? I tried (for a short listening session) my amp (not Bryston) bridged last night an... 
First Bi Amping Experience
Are you using a Y cable to split the pre-amp output?  Are you using any crossover before the amp?  Thanks.    
Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 3 or NAD C 275BEE or Rotel RB-1582 MkII for Revel F208
I had the F208s.  The AHB2 sounded good and a nice step up from an RZ820 AVR.  IMO, any of those amps you list would work well - I have always liked Rotel.    
You don't lack bass, you have too much treble
@curiousjim Perhaps you just don’t like those instruments which produce sound at those frequencies. It’s not your system. I don’t like trumpets live or recorded and if I built a system to make the trumpet tolerable to me, it would be a misrepresen... 
You don't lack bass, you have too much treble
To make a room sound less bright, are diffusers or absorbers, or both, suggested?  Thanks.    
who makes custom speakon speaker cables for the Benchmark AHB2?
Blue Jean Cable confirmed that they can make cables with Speakon.  I suspect that BM uses Canare 4S11 cable.

I tried to respond but Audiogon blocked my post.  Oh well.    
Aurender Conductor App Question
I don’t know the answer to your question regarding use of the LAN, but I know you can copy files to an USB thumb drive and set up the folder structure and names on the USB thumb drive anyway you like, using a computer. Then, you can connect the US... 
Help me pick a Dac
Your Node stands out at the inexpensive - entry level consumer component.    
Basic Music Purchase Question
Thanks everyone.  I bought the SSD, installed it, formatted it, brought the album and loaded it on to the N150.  Everything worked great.    
Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration
@jfrmusic I know what I would do.  I would order the 2nd AHB2 and compare it to your single amp and see if you can tell a difference.  I would also get a home demo of the Bryston and demo it against the single and dual AHB2.   That is a perfect co... 
Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration
You can easily try the AHB2 with the option to return. Is there anyway to demo the Bryston with an option to return it? Even if this cost a few hundred for the trial, it would be worth it. Ideally, you would have both for a week or so and then dec... 
Why don't we tire of music?
Good post.  Bliss's 2nd paragraph hits home with me. Music allows you to commit it to memory and just enjoy how you feel because of it. This is precisely why many people call it a drug, because the experience a particular song or composition can ...
