Benchmark Media Systems AHB2 (Black) Power Amplifier No Longer Required. In new/mint condition, one Benchmark AHB2 power amplifier for sale. I have used it as both stereo and Mono setup with my Revel F268BE speakers and now switched to custom made hypex ncx500 mono power amps for all my 9 ch atmos setup. Excellent condition with original box, manual etc. Stereo 100W RMS per channel into 8 ohms, 380W RMS into 8 ohms bridged mono.

This is a good buy, and at A$3,350 it sits clearly below the A$3,702 25th percentile, so it reads as a genuine bargain rather than a merely fair ask. Versus the A$4,049 median and A$5,005 75th percentile, the discount is meaningful enough to move fast if you want one.
That makes sense for a unit like this: the AHB2 has a strong reputation for very low noise, excellent control, and a clean, transparent presentation that suits revealing speakers and careful listening. A like_new listing also matters here, because with power amps the big win is usually a tidy, well-kept example with no drama, so this looks like a solid value play if the photos, packaging, and any extras check out.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Benchmark Media Systems traces its roots to 1983, when founder Allen H. Burdick launched the company as Benchmark Sound Company from a garage in Dallas, Texas. Burdick, a lifelong audio enthusiast, built the brand around meticulous engineering principles, evolving it into a dedicated hi-fi operation. Today, headquartered in Syracuse, New York, where it engineers, manufactures, and ships products, Benchmark upholds over four decades of American craftsmanship focused on precision audio reproduction.
The company specializes in a focused lineup of high-performance components, including flagship digital-to-analog converters like the DAC3 series, transparent preamplifiers such as the LA4, and the acclaimed AHB2 power amplifier—named in honor of Burdick himself. This streamlined portfolio avoids speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables, concentrating instead on core electronics that prioritize signal integrity and minimal distortion.
Benchmark occupies a premium niche in the hi-fi market, revered by discerning audiophiles and measurement enthusiasts for its exceptional transparency, low noise, and top-tier objective performance. Positioned as a high-end boutique brand, it appeals to buyers who demand verifiable excellence over hype, consistently outperforming competitors in rigorous testing while delivering reliable, no-compromise sound.
