Audia Flight FL3S vs Hegel H95
Equipment:
- LG TV w/Tidal app
- QED optical cable
- Cambridge Audio 851D DAC
- Van Damme RCA cable
- the respective amp (FL3S or H95)
- DIY power cables
- Hidiamond D3 speaker cables
- Dynaudio Evoke 10 speakers on Dynaudio Stand10's
I know, the Hegel H120 would have been more price appropriate with the FL3S, but this is what I had on hand :)
The 851D was used as an external DAC to level the playing field a bit. To be fair: the XLR output on the 851D is way better than the RCA, but the H95 does not have an XLR input so I had to use the RCA.

Most ridiculous amp shootout ever! Or is it? Hegel H95 vs MF M6si

Would you look at that. In the red corner, my reference Hegel H95 vs the Musical Fidelity M6si in the blue corner. 2*60W vs 2*220W. 1800EUR vs 2500EUR. An all-in-one vs an 'almost' pure analogue. Which drives the Evoke20's better?

How can the Hegel H95's internal one keep up with this hype? My thoughts in a few days in the comment section - I'll leave you time to make up your mind.

my Dali Zensor 1 🙂
Evoke 20 is not reference speaker and I strongly belive it is better match with MF because of MF slightly boosted upper trebble and dynoudio treblle roll of. However thank you for video, is helpfull. Which one would you choose?
The MA's sound too delicate on energetic material.
I know KEF keeps winning all kinds of awards, but they so often sound unengaging and sterile to me.
The Dyn's are a little more subtle with percussion (snares sound farther back), but the midrange quality is quite similar. I'm thinking of getting a pair of the Dali's to compare to Triangle BR03's.
DALI Oberon 3 sans hésiter pour sa richesse harmonique et sa douceur ainsi que la différenciation des timbres. Ce n'est que mon avis mais pour moi une évidence.
Amfi ve cdp çok kötü. Bu amfi ve cdp ile uzun süre müzik dinlenmez
This is bait clic
I had oberon 3 for around 2 years,amazing speakers with the best bass i have ever heard from bookshelf speaker,Kef are also great,never had them but i could try them,great uk speakers,now i own Dali Opticon 2 mk 2,next level speakers when it comes to details and high tones✌️
NEL BRANO FINALE IL KEF RISULTAVA TROPPO METALLICO
Dynaudio does a superior job of reproducing cymbals. The Monitor Audio’s rendering of cymbals hurts my ears. As a drummer and cymbal collector for decades, I know what real percussion instruments sound like.
Interesting take, but yes, that's how they sounded in person, too. Even more so if you pair the Dynos to an amps that's better suited - the Exposure didn't drive them really well.
buchardt is more comfortable and easy
The distances are more tinted, which makes them seem more impressive
Hegel synergies well with KEF. Dynaudio needs a more livelier and dynamic amplifiers to sizzle it up a bit. But I always like the neutral, balanced and smooth sound of Dynaudios.
Even on you tube you can hear that the Dynaudio way ahead on clarity
I have Kef Q350. You can listen to it for hours because it doesn't tire you out and you will be excited for the next listen. It's almost like therapy... Thanks for the video...
Audia Fight all the way !!! 😎
ディナは、甘美。 ケフは、生硬い。
It’s clear from the first tract that the Evoke 20 has a rolled off treble. It’s like they put a veil over it.
Really nice warm sound from Dynaudio, with KEF possibility of fatigue setting in after long sessions...
Die Dynaudio sind in den Höhen etwas nervig. Nicht mein Ding. Bei hoher Lautstärke bevorzuge ich die Dänin.
Nice. I own the ELAC Uni-fi series, and I have to say that I actually prefer the signature of the Dynaudio Evokes. I'd read the Reference series were to "relaxed" for most people. My Uni-fi UF5's and UB52's are certainly more lively than these Reference line. I'll have to research Dynaudio next time I'm shopping for speakers.
Dynaudio are better.
Bass on SP40 seems more controlled and highs less sharp/annoying than MA Gold 100, but MA Gold 100 has the upper hand in the rock track (in my opinion)
Interesting. I felt the Dynaudio speakers were quite shrill. The Elacs had more depth snd warmth. Sorry.
Actually the MF seems to me clearer while fuller, notably on the bass and medium bass range and softer on the high medium. These differences apply pleasantly on every song of your test. So to my taste, i'd go with it rather than the other. But it's all dependent on the system I guess. Kudos for the video!
I prefer the "liveliness" of the Dalis, as a matter of fact I just ordered a pair
У Dali, чувствительность выше, это придаёт немного агрессии. AE, более размеренны, мягкое звучание. Оба экземпляра хороши.
Thank you. SP40 all the way.
Un giorno capirò come si possa valutare il suono di un diffusore attraverso l’ascolto da TH-cam, probabilmente da un telefono.
Good job. Close call. I'd go with the MA's purely because they're clearly better suited to rock music. If I was a jazz boy, it'd be the Dynaudio. However, it's not exactly apples to apples. The MA's to Evoke 20's would be fairer. Btw I absolutely love your choice of demo tracks.
Both speakers are very successful when listened to on their own. The MA body is strong and balanced. But the middle parts are a little missing. The DA parts play very accurately. There are more middle parts compared to the MA. If they ask me which one to buy, after this video, my hope is Dynaudio.🎉
For me Hegel won🏆
Acoustic Energy won🏆
Dynaudio kill the KEFS. I should know I own Dynaudio's.
Wow, even the lower tier Oberon 3 sounds amazing. Dali really knows what it's doing.
Good song selection. Both speakers sound good, but I prefer the Elacs even with the rock songs.
Kef has a better crossover, more reverberation but worse drivers, Dali has a more interesting sound but a worse crossover, less reverberation.
I think dynaudios have a greater impact in the bass on the sade song.
WOW! This video made clear that the S40 is something special especially for Rock and Metal music. It sounds so full, warm but nonetheless very detailed in the mid-range. I own a pair myself and hearing this makes me feel confident I have made the right decision!
Marantz is better.
Not much difference between the two...
I listened blind for several cuts then read the data as to which was playing. Blind my first preference was the Hegel. That said I noticed much better and slightly more forward treble and definition on the Sugden cuts . This was my results though after several plays and doing cuts mixed and blind, Sugden for grip, transparency and ballanced soundscapes. Hegel if you like a more full bottom end and darkness. I came to prefer the Sugden sound just slightly.
Track name @ 7:38 please
The volume is different huh, the audiolab is slightly louder than Cambridge, so people are going to like audiolab more.
I really wish people would care to read the descriptions, comments etcetc before they comment. This would spare them looking dumb and me a lot of explaining. EVERY SINGLE ONE of my videos are volume matched at 1kHz, being the frequency least affected by my room. If you care about music and sound in general you'll know, that this does not mean anything though, because perceived volume depends a lot on the EQ curve of the components in question. Every single amp, speaker etc that has more mids (2.5kHz to 8kHz, approximately) will SOUND louder but still have the same measured dB value. This is how all of music mixing works and has worked for a century. This is how you mix your instuments in a band setting. So no, one is not louder than the other; it just has a different frequency response, and this is EXACTLY what you would want to hear from a comparison video.
SP40 sounds much better than Evoke. Driver quality is much better in SP40.
Dali it’s a bit boomy
Maybe it is a matter of preferences but the Dali sound much more refined to my ears. Even in my Bluetooth dongle from iPhone to porta pro!
Dali лучше звучат
Dang! Dali appears to pull off another win with another model! 👍🍺
