Hegel makes several integrated amplifiers. As the number gets bigger, the quality gets better. The H190 will do a good job for you and if you save your money, the H390 (used) will make your very expensive speakers sing!
All the best.
Integrated Curiosity
Hello all,
I was finally able to get a hold of some of my dreamed of speakers. I’m running expensive speakers on a cheap tube integrated amp with 45 watts. It sounds lovely, fleshed out beautiful mids, good soundstage, smooths out bad recordings- you know, very tube-like.
I want to go to the other end of the spectrum. Solid state, priority on slam, dynamic, a dampening factor, bass control, detail oriented, leaning towards analytical is ok. Big power is a plus.
Im curious about older Krell integrateds, I’ve heard Hegel and enjoy them. Really want to draw on the experience here for other ideas.
budget around $2500
Thanks much for your thoughts,
