Hegel H20 vs. PS Audio BHK Signature 250 Stereo

Rost,  you have a well matched system as it sits. If I was in your shoes and simply switched to an Integrated I think it would be disappointing (In terms of sound quality), albeit a bit more tidy. It’s hard to take a step back. However, if you swapped speakers at the same time to something you’ve been curious about and swapped to an integrated at the same time I’d imagine it would be different, smaller and maybe exciting again. That’s how I would feel.

          My initial impulse was to switch amps considering something newer could sound better and save me some space at the same time. The amp that first caught my eye was the Hegel H30 but I thought I could get away with lesser power so my post referred to the H20. Since then I´ve been informed that it is inferior in sound as well as power, something I haven´t been able to substantiate being unable to audition the Hegel line.
         Upon deciding that I was quite content with the sound at hand and realizing that saving space could leave me frustrated and unhappy with inferiorsound I abandoned the idea of replacing the JC1s. Instead I decided entertain myself by putting together another separate, allbeit much smaller system and leave the big rig alone as it is.
          So I went in a totally different direction and purchased the Mastersound 220, a SET integrated that uses 2 EL34 tubes per channel in parallel for 20w/channel and a pair of French 2 way minimonitors : Davis Olympia. Then hunted down some NOS Telefunken EL34s and Siemens E82CCs.  I guess that what I was missing was the expected excitement associated with putting together a new rig and the challenges in achieving some sort of synergy.
          But time passes and I can´t help thinking about how the German T+A PA3100 HV integrated would mate with my Dyn C4s but until I have that kind of spare cash (> 20 grand) I´ll have to stay anxiously put.    
          

Sounds like a great decision. It’s nice to have a 2nd system to play with without having to go all in financially.
