£799 is a strong buy against your own used-market anchor: it sits well below the £868 25th percentile and a long way under the £943 median, so this is priced to move rather than merely “about right.” For a Hegel H95, that leaves meaningful room for the usual negotiation friction and still lands in bargain territory.
The H95 is well liked because it’s a compact but genuinely capable integrated with a clean, controlled presentation, solid 60 W per channel into 8 Ω, and a useful built-in DAC/streaming section, so it can anchor a simple modern system without fuss. At this price, the main appeal is getting Hegel’s refinement and drive without paying near-new money; if the listing is complete and the amp is functioning normally, it looks like an easy enthusiast-grade pickup.

Hegel Music Systems traces its roots to 1988 at the Technical University in Trondheim, Norway, where student Bent Holter founded the company as part of his thesis on revolutionary transistor amplifier design. Targeting distortion—the bane of traditional hi-fi—Holter developed the patented SoundEngine technology, laying the groundwork for Hegel's enduring innovation. From modest beginnings in the early 1990s, with early DACs in 1994 and CD players by 1996, the brand expanded steadily, even hiring engineers amid the financial crisis to pioneer advanced D/A converters.
Hegel's product lineup centers on high-end electronics, excelling in integrated, pre-, and power amplifiers that deliver effortless power and precision. They also produce sophisticated standalone DACs, CD players, and phono stages, emphasizing digital integration and streaming capabilities. Manufacturing occurs in China, while Norway handles all design, circuit development, testing, and software.
Positioned firmly in the high-end hi-fi market, Hegel commands a global reputation for musicality, neutrality, and build quality, with dealers in over 60 countries and accolades like the HiFi+ Innovation Award. Collectors and discerning audiophiles prize its no-nonsense Scandinavian engineering, bridging modern digital demands with analog purity in a competitive boutique landscape.
