The Hegel H190 needs a loudspeaker with smooth treble and good bass extension, but the fact that it has so much control over the low end makes the range of options wider than average. The treble could be a bit sweeter, but there’s no denying the appeal of the dynamics and timing that it can deliver, and the built-in DAC and streamer make it rather good value. Strongly recommended.
