Hegel H390 review // Powerful simplicity
Today we take a look at the Hegel 390. We have always been a big fan of Hegel products. In my opinion Hegel is one of the few companies that try to push the boundaries and develop new designs rarely seen today. Can this high power amplifier all-in-one truly compete with some of big pre/power separates?

    I have this amp. At first I thought what about the tone controls. But it’s so well designed I have not noticed the need to mess around with levels. It just plays the music how it was engineered. I only paid £400 for mine brand new (open box). Because the dealer thought it was an ex demo. But amazingly they still honoured the price. Mine is driving a pair of B&W DM601S3.

    • @solfergav
      @solfergav 10 днів тому

      Possibly because Cambridge don't recommend driving 6ohm speakers with the Axa35.. "The AXA35 is only rated to be used with 8 Ohm speakers and we would not recommend using it with 4 or 6 Ohm speakers. Using the AXA35 with 4 or 6 Ohm speakers could result in the amplifier overheating, which in the long run could damage the unit."

    I've heard 2 of these; first was the EVO 150 at a friend's, near field through some KEF speakers... didn't love it, this set-up was too 'in your face' and sharp. Months later, I went to buy a new Rega TT belt and the dealer was playing the Atom through a pair of Neat Iota speakers (that I already own) and all I could think was 'that's what I want my system to sound like'. Not long after, bought an Atom H.E., paired it with Acoustic Energy AE1 Actives that I already had and I couldn't be happier.

    As much as I love my amplifier Parasound 2125v2, I upgraded to the even better NAD C298. As much as I love my speaker GoldenEar BRX (AMT tweeter), I upgraded to the even better PS Audio FR5 (planar tweeter). Both speakers are used with 2 independent sealed subwoofers. As much as I love my dac Denafrips Ares II 12th, I upgraded to the even better Denafrips Pontus II 12th. And I use a ddc Denafrips Iris 12th. source=Apple Music lossless quality

    Heard this combo many times, and although it certainly has visual appeal, I'm at a loss as to why so many enthuse about the sound. It's entirely subjective, of course, but it's just too restrained for my tastes. Without doubt it's a classic, but it's not for everyone.

    I am very happy and impressed with my Oberon 5's. They have a clarity and presence that is surprising. Bill Evans at the Village Vanguard feels like I'm in the room , bass and mids are well articulated. I am using a pretty basic Sony receiver and Audio Technica turntable but the sound is still very impressive. I had some space restrictions so these fit perfectly and the quality of the sound is the real bonus.

      I would go for the Concept 30, or any stand mount speaker. Even for my medium sized room I’m going with stand mounts next time. If you have a good subwoofer, and let it handle the lows, I find stand mounts aggravate room modes so much less than floorstanders do. They have less phase issues as well. So yes the C50 will work but you might want to plug the ports to prevent the room from going nuts, and if you do that you’ll need a subwoofer anyway.

    The reason for the speaker terminals being the other way around is... When you're plugging in the cables from standing in front of the Naim your right side is the right side on the speaker terminal, and the left side terminal is on your left side.
