@krymer2 I own the Hegel H30's and like them very much. The new H30A is the same as the 30 but they are using a different supplier for the caps, and a big price increase. I would see if the American supplier happens to have a couple H30s still available at a discount. Having said that, one of the intersting features with the H30 is 1100+ watts in mono mode and the ability to run them in stereo mode at about 450 watts x 4. Now you have the option of bi-amping your speakers. I am using one amp as Left/left and other right/right. So there's my 2 cents. Great amp with added felxability.
(Hegel vs Luxman) vs PS Audio
Can anyone help me. Looking at Possibly moving from my PS Audio ( BHK Monoblocks and Pre) to Luxman C900 and M10 Amps (monoblocks)or to Hegel 30a amps (monoblocks) and Conductor Preamp [latest versions]. What are the differences in sound amongst these house combinations.

@krymer2 I can't compare the Hegel sound against the other two amps as I have not heard them. Hegel states their mission is to add nothing to the sound with their amps and I suggest they hit the mark. I have owned the H390, H590 and not the H30s. I also own a pair of TRX-M845 tube mono blocks from Triode Audio of Japan. 50 Watts per side Class A. I struggle to hear any difference in sound between the H30 and the Triode. I have read reviews of the H30 that claimed the sound was close to tube amps. The reviewers words. I don't know that you achieve much be changing your amps. PS makes good equipment and I've never really bought into the whole idea that one SS amp has a "sound" that's different from another amp of similar power and build quality. |
