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.
