Hegel Music Systems H590 Integrated Amplifier (Solid State) Hi, Up for sale is my H590 which is a beast. I bought it from AudioConnection 5yrs ago. It is in very good working condition and have never had any issues with it. A ton of reviews online and everything they say is true. Pick-up a great value for money deal! I have a box and can wrap it securely for transport. Please note the light scratches on the top left and right which are in the pictures. This can be easily covered up with a black marker but I want to be transparent with the sale. Also not the wear marks on the remote. Any q
Should you pay A$8,600 for this, or are you overreaching versus the used market? Based on the recent AUD comps, that asking price is well above the median of A$2,924 and even past the 75th percentile of A$4,689, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair.
That said, the H590 is a seriously capable integrated: big, authoritative, and highly resolving, with the kind of drive and control that makes demanding speakers come alive. If this one is genuinely very good condition and includes the original remote, packaging, and any accessories, there’s real upside for a buyer who wants a near-top-tier Hegel and values completeness; if not, I’d want a sharper number before calling it a buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Hegel Music Systems traces its roots to 1988 in Norway, when engineering student Bent Holter at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim undertook a thesis project to redesign transistor amplifiers, eliminating distortion inherent in traditional hi-fi designs. Drawing from his time in the rock band The Hegel Band, Holter named his venture accordingly and secured funding from telecom giant Telenor to refine his innovations. Patented SoundEngine technology emerged in the early 1990s, followed by the company's first DAC in 1994 and CD player in 1996, marking a period of steady growth amid economic challenges where Hegel defiantly invested in new talent rather than cutting costs.
The brand focuses squarely on high-performance electronics, excelling in integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, CD players, and external DACs that prioritize musical purity and low distortion. Headquartered in Oslo for research, development, and testing, Hegel outsources manufacturing to China, emphasizing circuit design and software coding in-house to uphold its engineering standards.
Hegel occupies a premium niche in the hi-fi market, renowned for competitively priced components that deliver world-class sound and no-nonsense reliability. Among discerning audiophiles, it stands as a modern high-end contender, blending Norwegian precision with global appeal since its 1998 CES debut.
