Hegel H160 Integrated
Awesome pairing w/ both. Also a fan of Hegel. Previously owning the H70; H80; and HD11 DAC. 
Hegel H160 Integrated
I am planning to pair my H160 to a pair of rear firing Penaudio Cenyas and front firing Scansonic MB-1s. My new favorite mini monitor. 
Scansonic mb serie
Opening up beautifully. I am somewhere around 40+ hours and I was ready to re-box under 20.... Very nice for their size and level of transparency... 
Scansonic mb serie
I received my MB-1's today. Only on hour two. The agony and impatience....

hegel h80
Under utilizing and hence my sale of this fine piece... but a tremendous performer. Combined with my Hegel HD11 DAC and Crimson UK Cables to a pair of Penaudio Cenyas... I am thinking I should cancel its sale.Highly recommended.... 
Best Integrated, period.
I have had a few integrated amplifiers... and separates in the past. Rotel; McIntosh; Bel Canto; LFD; Sonneteer; Naim; and pending Hegel design.The cost was too irresistable to pass up. I bought a Teac AI-1000 as I wait for my more "expensive gear...

LFD Mk IV vs Hegel 100

Trenner & Friedl Art Speaker: A Year Later
Hi George.It's difficult to audition every monitor that becomes of interest and even rarer the opportunity to find someone who's heard similar designs. I just have a large interest in monitor designs. I have owned several and was intrigued after h...

George,Not being able to audition the Arts and having owned the Penaudio Cenyas and Harbeth M30.1; if heard- how do they measure up similarities or differences?Thank you,John 
Trenner & Friedl Art Speaker: A Year Later
Hi George,The Art could be my next speaker. Actually, I know they will be. My last two speakers were the Penaudio Cenya and Harbeth M30.1. Similarities or differences if you've heard either? The question is a bit ambiguous but I am unable to audit... 
Review: Penaudio Cenya
Owned both as well. But will not be selling my Cenya's in any forseeable future despite my rotating audio merry-go-round. Matched superbly well w/ my Sonneteer Alabaster; LFD Mk IV; with Crimson Audio speaker cables.Despite their 4-ohm load; both ... 
Amp for Harbeth P3ESR
Owned the Naim XS-2; w/ Flatcap XS and drove the P3ESR SE's happily. An amazing combination.Detailed but not analytical; and surprisingly able to reach good low frequency reproduction without embarrassing itself. Plenty of PRAT as detailed above.P...
