No contest......I would go with the Hegel H390. First: with the Hegel, you get a supremely powerful and high current/damping factor unit (that's built like a tank) that will even drive my power hungry, highly inefficient Revel Salon 2 speakers to astonishing results. Forget about all it's other features for now, and know that as a stand alone amp/preamp, this thing is one of the very best sounding integrated amps on the market, hands down. If I had a larger room, I'd go separates. In my room, though, I didn't even feel the need to go with the more powerful H590 to drive my speakers. The H390 is definitely a world beater and one of the true high value to performance unit on the market today.
