Integrated amp upgrade

Well it's not going to be possible to audition gear on the used market.
My source is a Hegel HD12 streaming music from Qobuz via USB.

paraneer there is nothing wrong with my Classe except that i might add a pair of Thiel CS 7.2s to my Thiel collection.
CS 7.2s are difficult loads for modest int amps like my Classe.

mgreen27 yes my Hegel has a volume control, it might be a good idea to look for a solid amp you are right.

gdhal i was actually looking at the M6-500i but can't find one under $3K used.

Thanks guys, the thing is that i have to determine if i do a little amp upgrade now or wait until i get the budget to build my ambitious high end system with my Thiels.
End of february i should get a home autidion of a full Ypsilon  system.

carmenc yes integrated amps is just momentarily because hopefully within the next 2 years i will have the budget to build an all separates system with gear that's in another league, for that i'm looking at Dan D'agostino Classic stereo amp and Nagra Classic preamp, here we're talking $32K combo.
So that's SS amp with tube preamp like you said.

I think the best choice for a nice reasonable upgrade is the Hegel H360 but for that i would have to sale my Classe and my Hegel HD12.
I auditioned the H360 last november and found it very refined and organic.
Probably one of the best integrated in this price range with a DAC that's at the same level as the HD12.

Thanks mfm22 but Rogue Audio is not imported in my country.
Looks like a nice unit though.

mesch yes i should be able to build my dream system in the near future with my present speakers, budget up to $80K.

Hey jafant what are you up to lately ?
Right now i'm investigating on Technical Brain.
Are you aware of that brand from Japan ?
Today i called the ditributor in France and we talked for an hour.
The preamp and monoblocks are unfortunately out of reach for most of us : $125K but the integrated would be worth a listen at $25K.
Therefore i will probably go see the distributor in april to audition the integrated.
He told me this integrated can easily compete with $50K worth of separates.
I don't know if it's in your price range but you might want to look at it for your CS 2.4SE.

The problems you are reffering to concerned the earlier versions.
It has been fixed since then.
