Integrated brand choice -- Simaudio, Hegel or Mark Levinson?

Are you sorry you asked? Lots of preaching about the mortal sins of various brands.  I will only say that I have a Hegel 390 driving a pair of ATC SM40’s and I could not be happier.  Very authoritative and soulful, IMO.  I auditioned both a class A and a class A/B Luxman, and a Naim Supernait 3 before I landed in the 390.  For my ears, in my system, in my room, the Hegel moved me in ways the others didn’t.  We all need to remember that this pursuit of ours is incredibly personal.  Buy the one that your gut tells you to and don’t look back!

That is true. Only what i want to add is you have to listen in your home first There is no short cut if you want to find best unit for yours system. 

👆🏼 Agree completely. My auditions were done in my home. Made all the difference in the world.

OP what are you coming from? Are you downsizing? Do you like the sound? Might be easier to make recommendations. But have to agree with several posters regarding your speakers which to me are a bit sizzling on the top end. Change your speakers first then match the electronics just my opinion.

Speakers first then match amp to suit them. I bought big Tannoy Ardens and then changed amplifier to match. Bought A class Luxman and been overawed by ease, musicality and even in built phono stage...
The speaker meant my Leben valve amp had to go but easy sacrifice to get the sound.
