The A200 is an integrated amplifier by Hegel that delivers 150 watts x 2 channels into 8 ohms, rated at 1 kHz and 1% THD. It is due in October 2026. It is a 2-channel design using a Class A/B output stage. Speakers connect via binding posts. A minimum impedance of 2 ohms makes it compatible with a wide range of loudspeakers. It also has a phono input, so a turntable can connect straight to it. The Hegel A200 has an MSRP of $3,995.
There are 7 Hegel amplifiers in our database. Below you can see the main specs of these amps.
Hegel Integrated Amplifier Series
Performance Specs
One of the most important factors when deciding on an integrated amplifier is its power ratings and compatibility with your speaker's impedance requirements. The Hegel A200 is rated at 150 watts RMS into 8-ohms. Hegel provides this wattage at a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of 0.01% which is an important indicator of distortion at the given values (lower THD is better).
Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:
- 150 watts into 8-ohms (5 Hz-100 kHz) at 0.01%
- 100dB Signal to Noise Ratio

Which speakers suit the Hegel A200?
150 W into 8 ohms, rated down to 2 ohms.
We rank every passive speaker we cover against it on power, impedance safety and current
delivery.
Need more power?
Hegel A200 is rated at 150 watts into 8 ohms, which puts it in our 121 to 180 watts band. The next band up is Over 180 watts, which is worth about 2.3dB more output. That is a real difference in headroom on peaks, and a modest one in how loud the system plays - power and loudness are not the same thing.
Before buying watts, check what your speakers actually need: the amp and speaker matcher works it out from their sensitivity, impedance and your room. Plenty of systems are better served by the 91 to 120 watts band and better speakers.
When pairing the Hegel A200 with a passive Bookshelf (Stand mount) or Passive Floor Standing (Tower) speaker, you have to check if their Max Power Range is below the max wattage of the amp for the given impedance levels.
Operating your amp outside of this max range may damage the speakers.
What size of room is the Hegel A200 Amplifier good for?
An essential deciding factor is the size of the room in which you intend to employ the Hegel A200 amplifier. Here, taking into account its maximum power parameters, we analyzed its applicability to various size environments:
| Listening Environment |
Suitability |
| Near-field | Poor |
| Small Room | Poor |
| Mid-size Room | Good |
| Large Room | Good |
| Very Large Room | Average |
Inputs and Outputs
Besides the performance specs of the Hegel A200, the next important feature set that you have to evaluate is the input and output selections that it offers.
Hegel A200 has total of 4 Analog inputs .

Bluetooth Connectivity
Hegel A200 doesn't have bluetooth connectivity feature. In order to stream your music via bluetooth, the easiest way is to connect an external bluetooth receiver to your Hegel A200. Two bluetooth receivers that we recommend are the
iFi Zen Blue V2 and the
Audioengine B1.
Among the amps in the same price range, these are the 5 amps that have Bluetooth Connectivity:
Phono Input
Hegel A200 features two Phono Inputs which are compatible with
MM (Moving Magnet) type of phono cartridges, you can connect your turntable with MM cartridges directly to this amp without the need for a phono preamp. If you are using an MC cartridge on your turntable, you need to use a phono preamp that has MC phono stage such as the
Cambridge Duo or the
iFi ZEN Phono.
Subwoofer Output
Hegel A200 has Stereo RCA preamp outputs which can be used to connect to a powered subwoofer via an RCA cable ( as long as your sub supports this connection).
Check our
Powered Subwoofers page to find a subwoofer that will work with Hegel A200 amp and your speakers.
Balanced connections
Hegel A200 has a balanced XLR input. A balanced cable carries the signal twice, on two conductors of opposite polarity. Interference picked up along the way lands on both equally and cancels when the two are recombined at the far end, so the longer the cable run and the noisier the surroundings, the more the connection is worth. Whether a balanced connection also yields more power depends on how the amplifier is built inside - some are balanced end to end, others convert to single-ended internally and deliver the same power either way, so it is worth reading the maker's own wording rather than assuming.
Hegel A200 Pros and Cons
Drawn from the published figures on this page, not from listening.
- ✓150 watts per channel into 8 ohms is more than most rooms and most speakers will ever ask for.
- ✓Rated down to 2 ohms, so even a speaker with a punishing impedance dip is within its brief.
- ✓Damping factor of 4,000 means a low output impedance and firm control over a woofer.
- ✓Signal-to-noise ratio of 100dB, so the amplifier itself should be inaudible between tracks.
- ✓Distortion is specified at 0.01%, an order of magnitude below what is generally held to be audible.
- ✓4 analogue inputs, enough for a full rack of sources.
- ✓Phono stage built in (MM, derived from the Hegel V10 phono stage), so a turntable needs no separate preamplifier.
- ✓Pre-outs (One unbalanced variable and one unbalanced fixed RCA line out) leave room to add a power amplifier or an active subwoofer later.
- ✓Home-theatre bypass, so it can join a surround system without fighting it for volume control.
- ✓Balanced XLR inputs, worth having on a long cable run.
- ✓Headphone output.
- ✗Analogue inputs only - a TV, computer or CD transport needs an external DAC.
- ✗The phono stage is moving-magnet only; a moving-coil cartridge would need a step-up or an external stage.
- ✗No Bluetooth and no network streaming - everything arrives over a cable.

How much power does the Hegel A200 have?
The Hegel A200 delivers 150 watts x 2 channels into 8 ohms, rated at 1 kHz and 1% THD.
Does the Hegel A200 use vacuum tubes?
No. The Hegel A200 is a solid-state amplifier - there are no vacuum tubes in it.
What amplifier class is the Hegel A200?
The Hegel A200 uses a Class A/B amplifier design. Class A/B is the traditional linear design: it runs warmer and is less efficient than Class D, but it is long valued for its natural, low-distortion sound.
Does the Hegel A200 have a built-in DAC?
No. The Hegel A200 has no built-in DAC, so a digital source such as a streamer or CD transport needs its own converter, or you connect it over analogue.
Can I connect a turntable to the Hegel A200?
Yes. The Hegel A200 has a built-in phono stage for MM/ DERIVED FROM THE HEGEL V10 PHONO STAGE cartridges, so a turntable can be connected directly without a separate phono preamp. It is voiced for moving-magnet cartridges; a moving-coil cartridge would need an extra step-up stage.
Does the Hegel A200 have Bluetooth?
No. The Hegel A200 does not have Bluetooth built in; you would need an external Bluetooth receiver connected to one of its inputs.
Does the Hegel A200 have a headphone output?
Yes. The Hegel A200 has a Yes-inch headphone output on the front panel for private listening.
How much does the Hegel A200 cost?
The Hegel A200 has a manufacturer's list price (MSRP) of $3,995.
