| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and yy, I was starting to think that I might have made a mistake with this pairing, but not any more! The H390 is a bit warmer than the H360 and maybe the Blades weren't broken in. But either way, the system really has changed for the better in abo... | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and 100 hour update on the KEF Reference 5's. The high end hasn't changed much and that's a good thing. The upper midrange has settled down and that's a very good thing. The bass has improved the most, Tight and clean. No need for a subwoofer here.... | |

| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? I bought an Audence AR-6 a couple of houses ago and it got rid of the noise in the power. The last house, the power was cleaner and I pulled it from the system. We just moved again and the power here is really flaky so it’s back in the system.Al... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system I just bought a Hegel H390 and am very pleased. It has everything I need and is the quietest amp/integrated I have ever heard! If you need more, the H590 might be good for you also.All the best.JD | |
