Hegel or Pathos?


Hey all,

Another subjective question here, but even tho I'm perfectly happy with my Pathos Classic Mk 3, I'm wondering whether I should return to a Hegel, specifically a Hegel 160 or 360? 

Both have balanced inputs, which is a must for me. The Hegel it's more powerful, and I feel like my Spatials could do with more wattage. The Pathos delivers 140 watts into 4 ohms, and my LFD SE phono stage offers ample gain.

Could anyone with experience in both of these (admittedly a tall order) offer any advice? I had the Hegel 160 and I really can't remember why I got rid of it, though I know it was for the pathos.

Many thanks.

Dill, I suspect that this tube would also work with the classic MK II which I still own.

I wonder how the Pathos Logos would compare to a pair of Classic IIIs used as Monoblocks?
