HEGEL - H95

Sound

Listening to Hegel, we can hear how easily the music breaks away from the loudspeakers, feels the freshness and a wide range of colors combined with good dynamics, which richly complements the natural character that Hegel wants to convey to us. The sound from the digital and network source is well delineated and cleaned of tarnish and artifacts causing loss of coherence and credibility of the message. We get a well-filtered, clear insight into the whole recording without losing or distorting anything along the way. The bass is agile, bouncy and delivers a quick response even to demanding loudspeakers. The scale of the sound in relation to the 60 W power into 8 Ohm load is impressive. The purity of the presentation surrounded by clear, uncolored and naturally distinguished details gives the music life and the will to listen louder. The instruments are separated from each other in a natural way without crossing the red line creating an unnatural digital atmosphere. High tones are crisp, bright, and at the same time very clear and shiny. The whole thing is extremely coherent without background noise, where everything that surrounds us in the music is accurate enough to notice the smallest nuances. Human voices have a convincing timbre, you can hear the emotions that the artist wants to convey in the piece. More emphasized notes have a strong emotional message, so that when listening to music, we have the impression that we are participating in it. Hegel managed to combine fire with water, and although the H95 itself is not a tall model in the offer of the Norwegian producer, it can pump a lot of blood that enlivens the music. In my own opinion, it is a combination of the SUGDEN sound class with the purity and refinement known from the stables of the Norwegian Primare Prisma.
