Hegel H590 with BW 800D


Does anyone have experience with the Hegel H590 driving the BW 800D speakers?  Any insights on how well the two would pair?

The H590 will drive those speakers without even blinking. It doubles down from 301wps @8ohms to 600, 1200, etc. The neutral nature would be a great mix with B&W’s. The Gryphon Diablo 300 will drive them nicely as well, but is significantly more $ and has an entirely different character than the 590, which I’m not sure would play particularly well with the B&W’s. Both are STELLAR amps and you cannot go wrong with either one, it would boil down to preference. Another one to consider is the H390, plenty of grunt to drive those as well.
