Hegel - H190v
Integrated Amplifier w/ Streamer/DAC
Hegel has consistently set the benchmark for excellence in integrated amplifier design. H190v continues this tradition with an evolution of the classic H190 amplifier. Aptly nicknamed "More Music", H190v takes our best-selling product of all time to new heights, offering a perfect blend of power, refinement, and versatility. Positioned in the heart of our integrated amplifier lineup, H190v is designed to cater to audiophiles who seek an all-in-one solution without compromise.
Crafted with precision and minimalist elegance, the H190v is housed in a solid steel chassis featuring a thick aluminium front with aluminium knobs. Available in both black and white, the amplifier is designed to complement any interior aesthetic. However, underneath its minimalist exterior, the H190v is packed with advanced features. Under the hood, H190v packs a formidable punch. With 150W class AB power in 8 Ohms, a damping factor of 4000, and a large toroidal transformer paired with high-quality output transistors, this amplifier delivers power and precision in equal measure. A dedicated and improved power supply for the preamp and DAC section creates a pitch-black background ensuring that the focus remains on the music, where every nuance is delivered with precision and control. H190v offers a taste of high-end sophistication at a sensible price point.

I have had the good fortune of having The Source AV do all my AV since they started in 1998. They even did all the AV when I built my new home. The Source uses first rate equipment and customizes the experience for your needs and home. The install is clean, quick, and very professional. Jason Lord understands this high end world, explains it well, and has a good eye on the future too. The Lord brothers make sure you have a custom experience and I'm always blown away after they've completed my AV projects. Their prices, quick service, and professionalism make me a repeat customer for more than a decade. I would highly recommend The Source AV Design Group.

I've taken a few trips here and one thing you'll notice about Jason is that he's really passionate about AV. His knowledge far surpasses many so-called "experts" I've spoken to at other shops. One shop even told me "If you try it here, you better buy it here." Seriously.
I never felt like he was selling me something I didn't need or want. If anything he and his crew went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed to properly evaluate the gear. Tell him what you like and he or his friendly staff will direct you to the products most aligned with your needs. Wayne helped me out with a few cables and that guy was very attentive and helpful. I've never had that level of customer service at any audio shop. Period.

I don't think I could have had a better experience. I am so glad I went here. It was a bit of a trip for me, but worth the drive above and beyond. I'll certainly be back. When I send an e-mail question, I get a response in short order. Professionalism, customer service and knowledge are the order of the day.
Top-notch company, whether you just want to try out some headphones, or are looking for a multi-million-dollar home theater setup, or anything in between.
