Soulution 711

Hegel was quite good. Incredible buy for the money. The two areas it loses to the Soulution are 1.) Soundstage Depth 2.) Bass Control. The separates are obviously superior to the integrated. Neither worked very well with the Raidho's, however, they worked better with the Focal Scalas. Decisions, decisions.
 
Hegel H300 integrated. The Raidho's like tightfisted control over the bass range. The best control was exhibited by the Soulution 711.
 
Peter - what was your impression of the Constellation's bass control on the D3's?

The poor H300 is only $5500 retail....the Soulution is $65,000.....not a fair fight! :)
 
In this video, is Raidho using the Rowland 625's?

I didn't listen to Constellation yesterday Mike, but from what I recall it was just behind Soulution in bass control. A little fuller from my recollection.
 
I would love to hear some Soulution. My appreciation for Swiss gear is growing...
 
I have heard quite an array of audio gear in my day and the Soulution stands apart as being unique in many areas.

I agree. What amazes me is how it starts as a subtlety & turns into an obvious once you have lived with the sound, very addictive.
 
The Hegel H300 actually sounds very good with Raidho. When Peter heard the combo we had just pushed the Focal's out of the way and moved the D3's in and they were not positioned correctly. Once they were in the proper position and the H300 warmed up it was quite nice.
 
Hello everyone,
I currently own the 530 integrated and recently decided to replace it with the 711. As the 711 arrived a few days ago , I had the chance to use the preamp from the 530 ( which is basically the 520) and connect it to the 711. The differences were immediately apparent. Much more authority and differentiation in the bass region. Increased volume of the sound, more space from left to right and front to back. The sound was more transparent as well. The 5 series amps are truly great but the 711 is a big step up. I have no doubts now that it has to be paired with the new 7 series preamp to properly deliver. The high bandwidth amplification system , high storage capacitance and extreme slew rate are concepts shared both by the 711 and 725. Again the 520 preamp sounded very well already but given the change brought by the 711, the 725 will truly reveal what the 711 is capable of.
Regards Martin
