H600
Integrated Amplifier
With a host of new features, a new chassis design, a new DAC, an improved amplifier section, and a vastly superior streaming engine, the Hegel H600 is a true powerhouse that should cover all audiophile needs and wants. Oh, and Hegel also added a couple of watts more...
£10,500
“The price tag is almost justified for the superb streamer/DAC section alone, as it would be for the pre/power combination at this power level; but, to combine all the parts creates a whole that’s approaching an audio bargain.”
Key Features
H600 is our reference integrated amplifier. With its 303 watts in 8 ohms, a damping factor of 4000, and 2 ohms drive capability, this powerhouse of an amplifier can drive any speaker with confidence and ease. The amplifier is a dual mono design, bringing it as close as possible to the performance of two mono amps in a single box. It also boasts a state-of-the-art preamplifier with the extremely precise volume attenuator found in our reference P30A amplifier. All electronic circuitry is designed in-house, and we only use the best-quality components. This gives us unprecedented control over the amplification process. When we combine this with our SoundEngine2 correction technology, we are left with an audio signal that is as close to the original recording as possible. The result is an immensely wide and deep soundstage with incredible dynamic range and tremendous bass control. This amplifier reveals all the details and nuances in the music. All you have to do is connect a pair of really good speakers of your choice.
