CODA CSIb vs. HEGEL H-300 INTEGRATED

Has anyone listened to the Coda CSIb and the Hegel H-300 integrated amplifiers? The Coda has the build quality of a Rolls Royce by looking at their interior and exterior
photos on their website. It is far more powerful than the Hegel H-300 putting out 330 watts into 8ohms and 600 watts into 4ohms. Its 2kVA toroidal transformer is twice as large as the one in the Hegel. They both weigh 55 pounds. The Coda costs $5800.00 and the Hegel costs $5500.00. Based on the reviews the Coda is warmer than the Hegel. What are your thoughts between these two models?

attention all new Coda integrated 400 wpc rms into 8 ohms and the latest
In circuitry available will be going up a bit maybe $500
But worth every penney ,built like a tank,musical and excellent parts
Quality,very natural timber,with a nice warm balance.
I heard 2 year old model.new ones even better with even better control and Bass even into a 2 ohm load ,also pure class A biasing can be requested up to the first 10 watts.

Could someone describe the sound of the Coda int? I'm a tube integrated owner now but I am toying with the idea of making the switch to SS for a while. Where does the soundstage sit? Is its "tube quality" in its midrange or just in its warmth?

Hi, was threshold a spinn off of proceed?

No, Proceed was a spin off of Mark Levinson. Coda and Pass Labs are spin offs of Threshold.
