Hegel H590
| Post removed |
I contacted Hegel about hearing this in S. Cal but none of their dealers have bought one yet. I do know that the Suncoast dealer in Florida has the Hegel and a ton of other integrateds. You may want to give him a call and talk to him about it relative to the other great units he sells. https://suncoastaudio.com/product-category/integrated/ |
Op you may want to consider a few of the newer preamp/dac + amp options that may be similarily priced: We have the Anthem STR amp and preamp which is an outstanding 400 watt per channel amp plus the new STR preamp state of the art dac + preamp with room correction both pieces are $10k no built in streamer though this package is $10k and it is really fantastic sounding one of the best sounding packages we have seen under $20k There is the new Krell K300i at $8k this totally new Krell Ibias 150watt integrated was one of the highlights at Rocky Mountain where one of the reviewers Mike Trei said it was the best sound at the show, don't know haven't heard the piece yet but the buzz is very strong that this little integrated is pretty amazing. You also have the new Mark Levinson 5000 series which are getting good buzz they have a new integrated at $7k. The T+A gear is amazing they have one integrated amp the 2500R at $11k challenges way more expensive amps, very open, transparent, great soundstage but no built in dac. The take away is that there are a lot of great packages you can put together. We are waiting to hear the 590 as well, as we might be brining in Hegel again. Long story short there is a lot of great gear on the market right now that repesents stunning sound and good pricing. Dave and Troy Audio Doctor NJ Krell, T+A, Anthem, Coda dealers |
