Re: Hegel H160
We'd 160 on tests and in comparison with H100 the progress is huge, but ... for Me H300 offers much more wide sound stage and dynamic especially with hard to drive loudspeakers (like Gauder). Of course H160 is very sensitive for power cords and play best on XLR connection.

Re: Hegel H160
In simple terms, Hegel's patented Sound Engine technology is a method of using feed forward signal processing to cancel switching distortion. As such, it allows them to create class A/B amplifiers with many of the sonic benefits of pure class A designs, but without losing the higher efficiency of A/B operation. I agree that they sound great and offer an exceptional value in the marketplace.

Re: Hegel H160
Hegel themselves also claims superior performance running the H30 in mono configuration, and it was initially designed as a mono amp. However several reviewers have reported that they find the H30 to sound best when run in its stereo mode. It's not clear what would be the cause of this discrepancy.

Re: Hegel H160
Mike tried 2 H30's running mono, but he preferred a single H30 in stereo.
I would love to try it myself, but I haven't had the chance.Mark

Re: Hegel H160
Probably you are right - perhaps it was the Talia that set the H30's mood right then the preceding P30.

Re: Hegel H160
I'm currently using a H160 to drive some Dynaudio Xcite 34's and have had a blast with this set up. Hegel especially has impressed me with their handling of digital audio sources and how little they "sound". We have a few different combinations that we've tried at our store and the Hegel has not disappointed yet.

Re: Hegel H160
In spite of all the current "where is Hegel manufactured" threads floating around out there I am still hugely enjoying my H160. Not surprised the new H360 is adding DLNA and airplay - both very well done on the H160 and work great.
