2. speakers

So I just bought a Hegel H390 and

I am building a new system and I just bought a H-390.  It should arrive by the end of the week.  I want to get new to me speakers to go with it. So if you’ve have or have had a Hegel H-390 or a H-590,  what speakers under $10.000 sounded the best.  And I guess I should probably get some wires also.  Nothing crazy, but not zip cord.

Thanks.

I would posit that the Hegel is such a neutral amp that it's really going to be the speakers you are hearing. And speakers are so very subjective. Are you able to get out and do any auditioning?

From a sheer musicality approach, you cannot step a foot wrong with the Stenheims. The A2 is in your range and will pretty much blow anything in its class away. If you’re pushing your budget, the A3 will likely be the last speakers you’ll ever buy. The Hegel will grip the hell out of the A2 and yet it’s probably a bit high on power output, they scale like nobody’s business. The halo graphic and stereo separation is mind blowing. Probably one of the most musical speakers in the world. You’ll not regret a single moment.
