@bigmac1963 - 3 questions. What kind of music are you listening to? Can you or do you have a sub-woofer? And what is your room setup like? (big, small, speakers on long wall or short wall, lots of windows, hardwood floors or carpet, have you used acoustic treatments, etc.)? The question about the room setup is the big one. You room may have more impact on the sound than any equipment will. |
@bigmac1963 - If the seller has a trial period or will let you take the Hegel home, it would be worth it. But more importantly, you are looking at a shift in preamp/amp technology, tube to solid state. Will it be better?. That is a difficult question to answer, but it WILL be different. So, if you can't demo the Hegel at home, do you have a friend, relative, local dealer, etc. that has something similar to the H400 that you could borrow just to see how a solid state system will affect the sound? - just my 2 cents... |
