Accuphase E-480 or Hegel H10+P10

Hi everyone, this is my first post here so I'm very excited.

I have the chance to buy either the Accuphase E-480 or the combination of Hegel H10+P10 (the Hegel combination being a bit less expensive) and was wondering if anyone had some thoughts about these. Because of the current situation listening to them will be very difficult, that's why I chose to ask here.

My speakers are Vienna Accoustics Beethoven Concert Grand so my thinking is that the Hegel combination would have too much power for them but I am curious to see if you have different opinions on this.
I listen to all kinds of music but mostly classical.

Thank you very much for any and all inputs.
Cheers
Ben

@benkenobi92,

No knock on Hegel but my vote goes to Accuphase E-480. Having owned E-650, the integrated is built for life. Apart from gorgeous aesthetics, the sound is supremely well balanced. The two option boards keeps you future proof without breaking the bank. If you’re passionate about music, Accuphase will enrich your experience each time you cue up a track!

@mrrui,

Given your current choice of gear, I can see why Accuphase or Kensington GR’s was not your cup of tea :-)

Accuphase sound is anything but harsh and lifeless.
