Hegel H590 or H400

@krelldog - let us know where you end up at.  I’m a big fan of Hegel+Harbeth combo

@krelldog Did you sell the CSIB because the sound changed over time and you weren't enjoying the sound as much or just a matter of slimming gear down so you have less components on your rack?

Also, did you end up with a Hegel?

we are hegel dealers and have had both pieces in the shop at one time or another

the newer editions sound significantly better. 

so I would get a 400 over the older 590

I sold the Coda CSib and a bunch of other gear/cables to pay off my mortgage.

At the time I was going to completely downscale my system going forward.

I bought on the cheap a Hegel H80 just so I could still play digital files from my music library. I've been stunned on how the cheap Hegel sounds on my big Harbeth's. Thus my curiosity on how the H590 or the H400 or 600 would compliment them.

For the record...The Coda CSib is an amazing integrated amp. I still thought it sounded better on my big harbeth's than the Pass Labs combo of the 250,8 and XP-22.

@krelldog    Hegel is mainly purchased for "watts per $" not sound quality. Some "Audiophiles" still believe there is value in this outdated notion.
