Hegel Amplifiers


Tried asking this on various forums, but did not get enough information. If anyone visited the recent audio fests and have listened to Hegel amps - especially the H20 - please describe how you found the sound of the Hegel amps. Any comparison? This is one amp I have shortlisted besides the Parasound A21. Also considering Classe 2200. Did not hear any particular one.
Any feedback is appreciated.

I wonder about the Hegel H30? Any owners out there? I do love Hegel's customer service, after I realized I was too hot tempered. Sorry Hegel!
Talk2me,
You are the only person on the forum, that I know of, who uses Hegel's higher end amps. You should check out the H30 with yourself...he he he. Just kidding. Here is a forum where you might get your answer:

Talk2me and Milpai,
I auditioned the H200 a while back and was so impressed with the sound I decided to give it a try. I will be receiving it soon. Unfortunately, I have no experience with the Hegel H30 so I cannot comment.
Sabai,
Will wait to read your review. Not that I am looking to change, but just curious. I was at one point interested in H20. But I could not audition it before buying.
Milpai,
I found the H200 sound very remarkable. One of the things that impressed me was the balanced sound at very low volume levels. Many amplifiers lose the quality of fullness and balance when the volume is turned down, in my experience. There is that "fade-away" feeling. Details and dynamics start to drop off. This was not the case when I heard the Hegel H200. Everything was there at low volume that was there at high volume. So, I found the sound very satisfying rather than having the feeling that I was straining to hear what was no longer there.

For the record, I had my ears checked recently and both ears are in excellent shape.
