I've heard a KWI200 that a friend owned and overall, I thought
it was a little uninvolving.....my friend ended up selling it, partly
because the overall construction he thought was below
where it should be (play in the knobs etc).....
I've heard Hegel at two audio shows and came away extremely
impressed......
If someone's telling you that 60W is plenty for your speakers,
which I'm not familiar with....you should also throw in the Audio
Research VSI60 to your options......that is my favorite integrated
of all, but doesn't have a DAC
It would also enable you to go with a Hegel 100 or something
with less than the 300 @ lower cost.......
