I think the Hegel H360 is a solid integrated. I was going to purchase that amp and spent many hours listening to it. I ended up getting an Ayre integrated (got a good deal) but the H360 was my first choice. You can't go wrong with it.
Integrated amp upgrade
I'm using a Classé Audio CAP-151 to drive my Thiel CS 3.7s at the moment.
I'm not sure if i should upgrade, anyway if i do so i'm looking for a used integrated amp in the $2K to $3K price range with balanced inputs.
I've seen a Sugden IA4 for $3K and a Musical Fidelity KW 550 for $2,4K but it's not balanced.
If i upgrade it would have to be really worth it otherwise i'd rather keep my CAP-151.
I have someone who would like to buy my CAP-151 for $1,6K.

Hey jafant what are you up to lately ? Right now i'm investigating on Technical Brain. Are you aware of that brand from Japan ? Today i called the ditributor in France and we talked for an hour. The preamp and monoblocks are unfortunately out of reach for most of us : $125K but the integrated would be worth a listen at $25K. Therefore i will probably go see the distributor in april to audition the integrated. He told me this integrated can easily compete with $50K worth of separates. I don't know if it's in your price range but you might want to look at it for your CS 2.4SE. http://www.technicalbrain.co.jp/index_e.html |
