- Is the Hegel H120 powerful enough for floorstanding speakers?
- It delivers 75 W into 8 Ω and is rated down to 2 Ω loads, so it drives most floorstanders. Very inefficient or hard-to-drive speakers may want more power.
- Does the H120 have a phono stage?
- No. There is no built-in phono input, so a turntable needs an external phono preamp into one of the RCA inputs.
- Can it stream high-resolution files?
- Yes, but the built-in streamer relies on a third-party app for high-resolution playback. AirPlay is limited to CD quality.
- What inputs and outputs does it offer?
- One balanced XLR and two RCA analog inputs, plus coaxial, three optical, USB and Ethernet. There is one variable RCA line output.
- How does it compare with the H95?
- The H120 adds streaming and more power over the H95, with the same neutral Hegel voicing. It is the better fit if you want one box for streaming and amplification.
- What is in the box?
- The amplifier and a remote control, along with the standard accessories.
