Offered is „H400 (B-Ware) +++ Angebot auf Anfrage +++“ by Hegel as new device from the category „Transistor-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 671627624 ends on 23.12.2026 at 06:18 o'clock.
This is a current-generation Hegel, so timing matters less than with an older model, but it’s still a premium buy rather than a bargain. At €5,490, it sits well above the recent used median of €3,431 and even above the 75th percentile of €5,058, so I’d call the asking price ambitious rather than fair.
What keeps it interesting is the H400’s reputation: 250W of clean Class AB power, a strong DAC/streaming section, and enough grip to drive demanding speakers without sounding strained. If the B-ware status is truly cosmetic and it includes full warranty, that helps; otherwise, I’d want to see exactly what “offer on request” means before treating it as a serious buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
