| Sonas Faber OLYMPICA versions Big difference in price, I wonder how much difference in sound? https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa32e3-sonus-faber-olympica-iii-nova-speakers?refsource=hifishark https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9ijaf-sonus-faber-olympica-ii-walnut-f... | |
| Sonas Faber OLYMPICA versions I'd love to have Sonus Faber Amati Traditional but a) can't afford them and b) be a crime to drive them with my Hegel 190. Which is why I hesitate to go down the upgrade rabbit hole. My crib as a child was generally located under HAM radio tube ge... | |
| A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers. I agree, having worked with electronics for 50 years , it’s just not asking that much to round the edges of heatsinks and early on they always did. It’s a cost saving measure.Ben | |
| Recommend speakers for Hegel H190 I use a pair of Sonas Faber Concerto and REL with mine, it works fine for my needs.If I upgraded speakers I would be looking for either a better SF of go to electrostatic speakers. However, going down that rabbit hole can get expensive. Mine is fe... | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? Interesting setup, Subzero with a Paradigm crossover...appreciate the input. Seems there are many ways to this so It's nice to get all the options on the table and that is a new one! Thanks, | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? Hmmm.>I suggest that you look for a 12-inch dual VOICE COIL system.Not seeing a lot of those advertised?Ben | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. Well, after toying a little more with the node2i it seems the audio gain when streaming from sources "other than" iPhone is really quite good. Streaming from Synology NAS, and online content has me locking the Hegel H160 at about 65% volume and ru... | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? Has anyone tested the Dynaudio Sub 3 or 6?For just extending the lower frequencies on a 2 channel system they look viable. | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. That's with the node2 at max output.Apparently the gain on the Hegel network interface (AirPlay) is way higher than the other digital and analog inputs.So now I have the opposite problem, yes iTunes users will not be able to crank the volume to 10... | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. There is however one thing I don't like with node2, streaming under Hegel H160 network interface I need about 47 on volume for max gain with my speakers (SF Concerto). To match that volume on node2 you have to go up to about 76 on the volume. Same... | |
| Streamer recommendations for dummies. Node-2 arrived today and integrated immediately with the Hegel H160, I think the DAC sounds equal and the issue of managing volume is resolved. Thanks to all who voiced opinions, I appreciate that others with experience are willing to share.Ben | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? That agrees with what Randy at JL Audio was telling me.... | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? I really appreciate all the insight from folks who have implemented sub based systems and have empirical results to judge by.Very helpful for a newbee. Thanks guys. | |

| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? I wonder how much difference you would hear between 10" and 12" subwoofers? |
