HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?

Hegel might be a bunch of greedy business men that "hang a shingle" in Norway and are able to have(Opera Audio?) build good sounding but inferior/over priced gear! What upsets me is the HEA media has been a lap dog for Hegel for the last 5 years? FWIW Opera has been manufacturing the Well Tempered Lab "golf ball" tables which still has a rabid cult following.

Sounds like these Hegel cats are NWA - Norwegians with Attitude... and no doubt straight out of Oslo.

Dayglow,

I agree that the high end audio media has been a lap dog for Hegel for many years.

Sabai,

That's exactly what I'm thinking. If you can't trust a company, forget doing any kind of business with them.

How is Hegel dishonest?

I can't confirm but lets say Hegel is designed in Norway and assembled in China. Excellent SQ to my ear, well built and reasonably priced compare to the competition. So what's the problem?

S1nn3r,

I totally agree. Needless to say, I would never go near another Hegel product after my recent experience with them.

There are 2 sides to every story. Base on Sabai history, there are definitely 2 sides.

Please clarify greedy in the context of your post? Do you have a problem with private companies making a profit to stay in business? Do you work for free?

and are able to have(Opera Audio?) build good sounding but inferior/over priced gear!

Can somebody translate?

Courant,

I recently heard from a dealer friend in Singapore about another well-known Norwegian high end audio company with a similar attitude. He said he would never go near either of them.
