Integrated amps- Hegel H100 or Vincent SV-237?

I have a pair of Maggie MMG and I love these little speakers. I am using my friend's Vincent SV-236 MKII to drive the Maggies and the speakers sound great. I also heard the Hegel integrated amps sound very good, too. I now have quotes for both SV-237 and H100 at the same price range. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance for your feedback!

That "bright side " will persist. For Classical the Hegel is far better.

Thank you! Is Hegel H100 powerful enough for the Maggie?

I would consider getting a different pair of speakers instead. There's no getting around a big strip of aluminum they call a tweeter. But before you buy anything, try this. You can insert resistors at your speaker terminals that will roll off the highs. Call Magnepan and ask them what resistor to use for your speakers.

Thank you! I have the original package which includes several resistors. I'll give them a try.
