Bumping this up…has anyone heard Hegel vs Electrocompaniet recently and was swayed to one over the other?
Electrocomp. vs. Hegel -The battle of Norway
I'm looking at an integrated amp to power my Aerial 10t's and mate with my modded Anthem CD-1. I recently auditioned the Electrocompaniet EC-5 (120w @ 8 ohms) in my home and liked the warm, liquid soundsound. I may need a little more power and wondered if anyone has heard the Hegel H200 (200 w @ 8 ohms). A response from anyone who has compared them both would be extremely appreciated. I'm leaning towards a good integrated vs. separates because of space/cost considerations. Other integrated recommedations are also welcomed. Thanks!
