I have heard the BMC and the Hegel audio products.
If I had to choose between integrated amplifiers H200 and C 1 I will certainly choose BMC C 1.
Between power amplifiers... the choice is very difficult... it depends from the speaker. Both of them have really good currents, very good soundstage and very good money for value.
For my personal auditions I have chose Hegel H20 NG.
About Devialet... This amplifier is something different, something new(?) in audio market.
The Devialet amplifier is a combination of the present and future audio products. It is flexible through a friendly interface, you can do everything that you want with the inputs (digital sources, phono, analogue), good looking, lightweight, wives acceptance, enough currents for speakers in its price category, very good sound but it was out of my price range.
Would I like to had the Devialet if I had the money?
I do not think that I would like to buy... Devialet had something "strange" in its sound, maybe I am strange... maybe I am not familiar with the sound of such products.
Devialet has clear sound, clear soundstage, excellent performance but I think that I heard -in some songs- a dry music character (I still have auditions with analogue sources...) something which is making the sound of Hegel H 20 and BMC S1 (i would not say better) more familiar to my ears.
