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?

    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.

    Naim is just a private equity Brand name now. This is probably the last classic amp with prat but already lost some Naim musically compared to the first version. I only ever just showroom listened to the 2nd version but that sounded technically much better than version 1 but totally lacked the musical enjoyment of the first version.

    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.

    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.

    I'm new to y'all's channel and I love what you're doing. The KLH-Wharfedale-Linton side-by-side is top-tier work, perhaps the most persuasive audio review I've ever seen on YT. But I have a bit of a dilemma: I live in Phnom Penh Cambodia where the selection is pretty-much nil, and so I'm traveling to Bangkok in a couple of weeks ... for a SINGLE DAY. I can't audition everything on offer over there, so I'm trying to narrow the field as best I can before I go, and I'm confused about two data points in your assessment of the KLH Model 5. On the one hand, the marks you gave it (in both videos) for low-volume performance is a HUGE plus for me. I'm too old for speakers that need 90dB to wake up. But on the other hand, you said that they're best-suited to medium and large-sized rooms, and that makes me nervous. My room is 360cm across the front and 600cm deep -- which ain't huge -- but worse than that, it's Cambodia so the whole thing is poured concrete. I'm worried that the bass from these is going to overload the room and produce an imbalanced sound. FWIW, I listen almost exclusively to jazz piano trios and quartets, and romantic-era classical orchestrations such as by Brahms and Schumann, at low-to-very-low volumes, with a lot of off-axis listening and wandering around. The aim here is for a cohesive, companionable sound. Nothing with big slam or aggressively microphonic detail extraction. I want to hear the music, not the equipment. Source is a Hiby R4 DAP and the amplifier for now is the small but improbably good SMSL AO-300, with plans to step up to a HiFi Rose RA-280 in about six months after someone else has paid for the depreciation. Speaker placement is pretty-much fixed at 90cm from the front and side walls, and both ends of the room have full-length floor-to-ceiling curtains, the front one of which conceals a glass French-door installation to a balcony, and the rear one of which conceals a pass-through to the kitchen. Are these still, with that information, a good audition candidate? What other speakers that you guys have heard spring to mind?

    I live in Cambodia where the selection is nil, and so I'm traveling to Bangkok in early September -- where the selection is better but only just. These are available there, but I have a concern. My living room is only 360cm across by 600cm deep and, like every room in every building in Southeast Asia, it's made out of poured concrete. Based on what you guys said about the bass performance *and* the "need" to turn these up a little, I'm worried about being trapped between an imbalanced sound at low volumes, and overwhelming the room with bass at higher volumes. (Plus I'm a low-volume listener anyway, so I'm a little put off by the "please turn me up" comment.) Do you guys think that perhaps a different product line -- like, say, the Acoustic Energy 109 and 309 -- might make a better fit? Listening habits are low-volume, companionable, lots of off-axis listening to piano jazz trios and quartets.
