Hegel owners - what speakers are you using
I just bought a Hegel H-190 for a second system in the basement. It’s 15 x 30 and semi-finished with full carpet. I use a H-95 in the living room for music and 2.0 home theater. I’m looking for something to pair with the H-190 for $2k - 3k new or used. I’m looking for either a stout monitor or smallish floor stander, not interested in large, heavy speakers anymore.
My listening down there will be classical, jazz, female vocals, and to a lesser degree rock and pop. My listening never exceeds 80 dB and usually it’s in the 65 - 75 dB range, so speakers that sound lively at lower levels are a big plus.
I prefer neutral to slightly warm speakers with my H-95, so the same for H-190. Because I listen to a lot of symphonic music, I need something that renders acoustic instruments accurately with realistic tone. I dislike horn speakers and anything overly bright sounding. I’m hoping you Hegel or ex-Hegel owners can share your experiences.
pabs8542 posts I own the H390 and run it with Spendors, for your music type they’d offer a good few options particularly in the classic range. Otherwise like someone said, Harbeth is another good option.
YOU NEVER SAID HOW IT MADE THE SPENDORS SOUND. ??? |
Currently using a hegel h590 with a pair of kef Blades. and the results are satisfying. I thought I would need $20-25k electronics yet the Hegel is really, really good. I don't have a separate power supply or even circuit breaker so the background isn't the blackest, but I don't think the hegel is adding audible noise. |
