Well said, I guess. Us lesser folk tend to get our listening experience from listening and not reading magazine reviews. The best I can do here is comment on the 2.5. I would consider it a fairly under rated component. It comes alive with music and has exceptional pacing. It's the kind of preamp you use to show people why they need a good preamp. I can't imagine someone not being happy with it.
I've never had the chance to listen to a Hegel. I would expect to like it given some comments I've read, but I can't say for sure.
