Integrated amplifiers — Hegel H150

The H150 is an integrated amplifier from Hegel, sharing electrical performance with the H120 while offering a somewhat different chassis proportion. The H150 brings Hegel's considered engineering to a complete integrated solution.

Key specs that matter

One balanced XLR input and two single-ended RCA inputs are provided, matching the H120. Output power is 2 x 75W into 8 ohms. Frequency response spans an extraordinary 5Hz to 100,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 100dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.01%, and a remarkable damping factor of 2,000. At 430 x 310 x 80mm and 9.5kg, the H150 maintains a somewhat more compact, lightweight footprint than the H120.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptional control reflecting the remarkable damping factor of 2,000, combined with the extraordinarily wide 5Hz-100kHz bandwidth, consistent with Hegel's broader considered Norwegian engineering standards.

Pairing

The remarkable damping factor of 2,000 suits demanding, revealing loudspeaker loads directly.

Alternatives

Hegel's own H190v sits above this model with considerably greater output and built-in DAC functionality, worth comparing directly to find the right Hegel integrated amplifier tier.
