Another Hegel H390 vs H590 Thread

I have a very moderately size room that I currently use an Hegel H390 to drive a pair of, not so efficient, Revel Salon 2 speakers. The H390 does a great job of driving my speakers and also sounds outstanding paired with my Ayre Acoustics QX-5 Twenty DAC. However, because of the relative inefficiency of my speakers, I just recently order an H590 to replace the H390. I decided to upgrade so I could get that extra power that the H590 will provide, as well as, a pretty significant upgrade in sound quality. So, as much as I love the sound of the H390, I want to maximize (as far as Hegel integrated amps are concerned) the Hegel sound and power in my system. I can’t wait for the H590 to arrive!!!

I just upgraded from the H390 to the H590.  The H390 is an amazing integrated, in it's own right, but when I purchased very large, inefficient speakers, I needed even more power then what the H390 had to offer, so I decided to upgraded to the H590.  The H590 was a pretty significant upgrade to the H390.  The H590 put the vice-grip to my speakers to a greater degree than did the H390.  There was just more of everything with the H590.  The H590 provides improved and increased: power, dynamics, detail, transparency, control, soundstage and palpability.  I don't use the H590's internal DAC.  The H590 combined with my reference level outboard DAC is a spectacular combination.  If I got a larger room again, I'd go back to separates again.  Until then, I believe that the H590 is one of the very few, marquis integrated amps out there that will make you not miss having big-time separates.
