Hegel house sound

[Gazzip]

DM - I have been reading your posts for years and know that you are knowledgeable in a reserved way and not a box-swapper. What was it that made you gravitate towards Hegel after being satisfied with Cyrus for all those years? The buzz around the brand at the moment or the tech specs? Just curious, not a loaded question.

It’s mainly the Hegel sound and as a product I am interested in as it’s something I do not see around my neck of the woods but thinking about it would have to be the Hegel H190 or H360 as a proper upgrade if I went that way .

Hi Gazzip

I must unashamedly admit it was Musicraft's special offers.

Without I could not have afforded Hegel and perhaps would have never listened to it. Unfortunately I'm not made of money and other things often have priority.

I also am not to enamoured with the looks but the H90 is slim enough and the (new) display is very nice.

It also gave me an incentive for the first time in years to plan a specific path. So whilst I most likely will be using a Hegel for Pre-amplification a pair of Acoustic Energy active standmounts are on the list. This way, as chebby once suggested, I can keep my options open for the future but all this will probably be enough to last me a few years again.

Sounds like a good plan!

I was/am very tempted to upgrade my Roksan for a Hegel. Before Christmas, when Musicraft were advertising an H360 at a crazy price, I spoke to Rick about buying it unheard. Unfortunately it had provisionally sold and I had missed out on it by a hairbreadth. *cray2*

Rick, Good to talk to you a few minutes ago.

As discussed if a 190 becomes available then please let me know and I will relieve you of it without hesitation.

All the best, GazziP (Not Mark Owen!) *smile*

It was great to see you and yes I'm enjoying Rost. Thanks for everything.

I have been quiet as listened to music a lot. Skipping the gym this evening so I can turn it up while my wife's out.

Have you had a chance to check out H90's DAC?

 

[Blacksabbath25]

Everything except electronic music and rap. Grew up with Rock, Metal, Grunge. Usually of a more bizarre variety with Math Rock, Prog, Indie flavour. But also listen to Jazz, Blues, Folk.

Shame the 2100 won't be part of it.

 

[insider9]

Thanks Rick. And yes it's a shame about the Yamaha, DM. I'll have a report on Sunday including long awaited Rost review.
