"The story of Hegel begins in 1988. Bent Holter - then a student at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, decided to write a thesis on an original design of the amplification transistor that should solve the problems of classical systems. Enemy number one: harmonic distortion. Holter simply could not accept the fact that when you send a signal to the amplifier, you also get something else - distortion caused by the electronics. Countering distortion normally meant worse performance in other areas, such as damping factor. Holter decided to depart from these classical amplifier techniques and developed a completely new project that became the basis for the current Hegel SoundEngine Technology. The numerous awards and five-star reviews speak for themselves. In our humble opinion, Hegel is one of the finest brands in our range." Holter simply could not accept the fact that when you send the amplifier one signal, you also get something else - distortion caused by electronics."
