Advice on Integrated Receiver

Take your time, sell/buy 1 step. At a time, to see if the sound changes. 
 

good rca  interconnects, won’t give a revalation, but there’s just something about tweaking my stereo once every two years or so , just for an excuse to not vacuum floor, or help with supper, or do dishes,

why you think it takes me 2 1/2 hrs to change my oil in my truck?

go slow at first, , definitely try a 200W rms amp with your speakers, no such thing as too much power' that’s so,e thing these whiny snobs belt out, because they  know they dumped thousands on a 6 watt hamster fart, which can’t even drive a bookshelf speaker without clipping at every crescendo and drum fill. 
 

my speakers are only rated for I think 250 peaks, so you just have to not get too loose wit the Bushmills, or the volume will go up and u will wake up to a fried tweeter or resistor in your crossover. I have 650W rms monoblocks going to my 250 iW  max rated towers. So effortless at every note , kick drum, acoustic guitar,, Gary Moore’s guitar , even vio-lence, abattoir, Angel witch, bitches sin, no strain what so ever, smooth sailing from now on.  
having that much headroom istkeeps everything stress free and sounding full and lush while you just sit back with a dram and enjoy your fav bands. 
 

btw, nice system you have, love the speakers. 
enjjoy the hunt. I always do

@bound4h looking at it from another angle, you get a very nice phono stage with the Luxman amp that will be good enough until you are ready to upgrade. Something that isn’t included with the H390. If you can swing it, get the luxman although like I said earlier, the Luxman might just borderline for the B&Ws as far as power is concerned. It should sound great though, regardless. 

@bound4h if you can get there Luxman is an excellent pairing, IMHO. I didn't realize the Hegel had no phono input. Definitely a deal breaker for many.  

As stated I use 509x with an older MA silver, the equiv of the 200 today. I do have a sub but even before that my ears said no mas long before this amp ran out of juice. Here’s what I consider an EXCELLENT description of the sound I get, lifted from a review that is accurate to this day.

For argument and sake of reference point, if you were to put Boulder amplifiers (and we still had the 1100 series here for comparison) as straight-up natural at 12 o’clock – adding nor subtracting nothing, with no sense of added tonal saturation, our reference Pass XS Pre/XA 200.8 is probably at about 10:30. With going to the left a bit on the warm/saturated side. The Luxman 900 series was about 11:30, with our tube references the PrimaLuna EVO 400 and VAC i170 coming in at about 9:00 and 9:30. I’d put the recent Esoteric integrated about 12:30 – slightly to the cold side, and the last few Simaudio amplifiers we’ve reviewed about 1:00 – even more clinical. The L-509x, like it’s larger separates has that same touch of warmth/saturation, without being slow or non-resolving.

To me that 11:30 reference (slightly warm but still very accurate) is the goldilocks of sound.

Thank you for that.   I did purchase the Lehmann Audio Black Box SE II so I’m hoping that’s sufficient if I bypass the phono on the Lux
