Plenty of brilliantly designed gear comes out of China, but if their gear is at a premium cost I get suspicious...Hegel plays down the Chinese thing, but has admitted someplace they have stuff made there...but being more expensive than even ARC or McIntosh seems somewhat exploitative and money grubbing. The seem to have an unlimited promo budget though, and get every item reviewed in all the mags with rarely ever a mention of Chinese manufacturing.
Hegel H590 List $13,500. Reasonable?
So I just saw the Darko Audio review for the Hegel H590 and thought I'd take a look into the price. I'm well aware that their gear is made in China, which isn't the topic of this thread really but it's somewhat related... anyway
Considering that the amp is made in China, is this price reasonable or fair? It puts it into the 5 figure price range which can get you an Accuphase or Luxman top of the line integrated. Or even Pass Labs.
I was honestly very surprised at this price, I thought it would be about half of the price it's going for.
