Hegel Amplifiers


Tried asking this on various forums, but did not get enough information. If anyone visited the recent audio fests and have listened to Hegel amps - especially the H20 - please describe how you found the sound of the Hegel amps. Any comparison? This is one amp I have shortlisted besides the Parasound A21. Also considering Classe 2200. Did not hear any particular one.
Any feedback is appreciated.

Several years ago,I owned the H4A.It was an outstanding amplifier,Sonically it was the equal of any solid state amp that I had tried up to that time.Excellent tight/deep bass,sweet/extended highs and limitless power.It was too deep for my Millenium rack or I would still have it today.It ran cool as well.
Mst,
Can you describe more on the "use of dialectic wires" please?

Transnova,
What amplifiers had you compared the Hegel when you had it? What amps do you currently have in your system?

Thanks for the feedback. Would like to know more on these amps.
I currently use a Muse 160 mk.II in a solid state 2 channel system(I have several systems in the home).At that time I had an Aragon 8008BB,a Hafler 9505 and a Plinius SA 100 mk.III along with several tube amps.All the amps sounded great(but different).I kept the Plinius in the system due to its shallower depth.When I aquired the Muse,I preferred it to the Plinius(in some ways) and its size works as well.
Milpai, you may want to avoid those 'dialectic wires' - things can get very confusing, very quickly. If you're feeling adventurous, however, I believe Hegel has produced some rather systematic instructions...

:o)
Transnova,
You owned some very good brands/models of amps. Good for you. Thanks for letting me know.

Jferreir,
Yes I do feel a bit adventurous sometime. One time was to experiment a TVC with an integrated amp. But then I did checkout with forums members, users and the firms themselves about the combination. I finally decided that the TVC would probably suite my system. And guess what - it works great!! So now I want to move to next level of amplification and you might see my threads in this and other forums. I don't feel that there is anything wrong in asking/checking with other members. Infact it would be wrong if we don't ask - especially when we have such great forums with so many user experiences.
I will wait for CES 2010 and check for more reports. I am also interested to know what Aragon/Acurus debut during this show. If everything else does not suit me, then I will go get the Parasound A21 or keep an eye on the audiogon for used Plinius/Perreaux. Technically, the amp should be high sensitive (<= 1.5V for max output) to match my TVC. Sound quality does matter of course. I am also want to find out, in what way the "current" spec affects sound quality. For eg. the Parasound A21 is 250Watts and outputs 60A current, but the Hegel H20 is 200Watts and outputs 120A.
