Description

I am selling my Benchmark gear, complete with matching Benchmark interconnects and speaker cables.

Everything is just over 1 year old and still under warranty. All In excellent condition and only lightly used for demos and home use, in rotation with other gear.

Items for sale as follows:

Benchmark HPA4 headphone/Line Amplifier. Featuring both balanced and RCA inputs and outputs. Separate headphone amp' with 3 pin and 4 pin headphone sockets, touch screen display and remote. (and a super useful balance control for those with 'older' ears like mine!) Too many other great features to list here but read the glowing reviews. I'm Including a pair of Benchmark XLRs to connect the HPA4 to one or both power amps. The second pair of XLRs can be used to connect another balanced source, such as a DAC/streamer, to the HPA4. I'll Include a pair of RCA to XLR converter cables to connect an RCA source to one of the balanced inputs, If required.

A pair of AHB2 stereo/mono power amplifiers. Use one AHB2 as a stereo amp or two AHB2s for bi-amping or as mono blocks. I'm Including a pair of Benchmark XLR 'Y' adapters which allow you to bi-amp the 2 AHB2s, If required. I'm also Including a pair of Benchmark speaker cables which connect to the superior quality 'Neutrik Speakon' connectors on the AHB2 and have the more common banana connectors on the speaker ends. (The AHB2s will also accept 'normal' banana and spade connections). Note that the AHB2s have balanced-only inputs.

You just need to provide an analogue or digital front end and a pair of speakers for a complete system.

The Benchmark components are Stereophile magazine 'Class A' recommended In spite of being far less expensive than most of the other Class A recommendations.

Only selling because I am no longer a Benchmark dealer so this lovely sounding gear is now 'surplus'.
