About the H20
The Hegel H20 stereo power amplifier incorporates the latest version of Hegel's FET-technology and patented SoundEngine modules, providing a rhythmic, natural, and dynamic sound with extremely low distortion. It delivers more than 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms in a dual mono design, with a damping factor exceeding 1000 for excellent speaker control. The amplifier features RCA unbalanced and XLR balanced inputs, two pairs of heavy-duty gold-plated speaker terminals, and a robust power supply with a 1000 VA toroidal transformer and 90,000 μF capacitors. Its design includes a bead blasted and anodized aluminum front panel and covers, weighing 25 kg (55 lbs) with dimensions of approximately 14.5 cm x 43 cm x 37 cm (HxWxD). The H20 is praised for its removal of harmonic echoes in higher frequencies, resulting in more detail and smoother sound reproduction.
