I notice a lot of Hegel products are up for sale lately -- no mention of a design flaw. Who would mention a design flaw when trying to sell an allegedly world-class product? Don’t expect any help at all from Hegel on this one. They will tell you there’s something wrong with your system. Your have to start with their world-class product and then rebuild your system around it. Never heard of such world-class nonsense in high end audio before -- complete with verbal abuse from the top people in this world-class audio company. My opinion is that you are entering the audio casino when you purchase Hegel. Maybe everything with be just fine -- but maybe not.
