In our opinion, it is not a picky amplifier. So far, Hegel has worked well with all the speakers we have partnered them with specifically Dali, Magico, Harbeth and LS Audio. From the reviews we have read, Hegel has been partnered with Magnepan, Amphion, Dynaudios, etc. to good effect.

A client auditioned the Hegel H300 yesterday with his Sonus Faber speakers and he bought it immediately. I guess we can add Sonus to the list of speakers that match well with Hegel

Is it possible to plug-in speakers to the Hegel Super DAC via a 3.5mm jack?

ArchitecturalAudio · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 07, 2014 at 11:16 PM »

This is not recommended because output of the Super is specifically for driving headphones. Thanks

Hi-Fi + Calls Hegel H80 Excellent!

Excerpt from the Hi-Fi + Review (Last two paragraphs)

"I play a little game with myself during reviews. Where possible, I try to avoid discovering the price of a product until the end of the review, and I see if I can guess correctly. Usually, I’m in the right ball-park. With the H80, I got this spectacularly wrong. I put this at about the £5,000+ mark, in among some serious top-end integrated amp peers. It’s why I happily drove this amp through a pair of Raidho D1, completely unconscious of just how much of a ‘mullet’ system I had created in the process. The thing is though, the H80 is so ‘right’ sounding, with such good bass control and so much in its favour with such a partnership, it seemed the most natural thing to put this little amp with a pair of speakers that cost more than 10x as much. I can’t think of a higher recommendation than that.

Hegel is one of those brands that deserve to be better known. Products like the H80 make all the right noises and tick all the right boxes for a ‘now’ product. It’s a well-built, deceptively powerful amplifier with an excellent digital audio stage. ‘It fights above its weight’ is a cliché of the highest order, but it really applies here. Excellent! "

Agree! Thanks for the opportunity to listen to the H80/Dali combo. If only I can home audition.

The Hegel H80 Continues to Impress....

Here is an excerpt from Stereolife's review:

"At the beginning, I’ve tested the H80 as a normal integrated amplifier with the Naim CD 5XS as a source. After listening to it for five minutes, then fifteen minutes, two hours, the conclusion was simple - this amp rocks! It is clearly one of the most interesting amplifiers in its price range. Even if we forget about the presence of the DAC. Such performance could be expected from a much more expensive device. Dynamics, energy and the control over the whole sound could be associated with huge integrated amps with heatsinks on the sides and transformers the diameter of a medium-sized pizza. But this one looks like a normal amplifier, it’s very inconspicuous. If there was a big black curtain in the front of the system and I had to guess what kind of amplifier was playing at the moment, I would say that it was something similar to cheaper integrated models of Krell or McIntosh. Maybe a respectable pre/power combination of Atoll or Audiolab as well. It's not just that you can organize a big party with the H80 and fill the large room with sound without problems"
