Thank you Richards, awesome response from someone with experience with the h30. I sent hegel an email about its 4ohm rating as a mono, no answer yet after 2 days. im trying to avoid using a stereo amp as it would require new cables and selling my existing.
Hegel H30 or Bryston 7B3 monos
Looking for system synergy and absolute control of my Magico S5 Mk1. Currently using a Vinnie Rossi Lio Preamp (avc tubestage) and Levinson 512 cd/Sacd player. The S5 seem to enjoy power and I want 3d sound with depth, wide soundstage and detail. Currently have Levinson 436 monoblocks that are very good-clean sound, but I bought it when I was using a Levinson 326s preamp which I no longer have and I lost some of the magic they had together. I like my Vinnie Rossi and have no plans of changing preamps. I know Hegel is used at audio shows with Magicos and Hegel uses Magicos in their listening room, but I prefer Monoblocks and the Brystons are less expensive at this time (and Canadian made, and 20 warranty, and 600w each). If I go the Hegel route I would have to buy one H30 now (use as stereo) and then save for a second H30. Any help?
