Looks like he's saying the Benchmark sounds fantastic on good material but he doesn't like it for bad program material. All I can say is that I've had euphonically-colored tube amps in the past, and I always ended up replacing them because they were getting between me and the music. I like revealing and neutral.
Anyway, I've AB'd the Benchmark with e.g. my A-21. The Benchmark was a bit more neutral -- better in the highs and neutral in the midbass, while the A-21 seems a bit warm there -- but it wasn't as good on piano (go figure). But the differences were subtle.
