I love my BHSE + 009, but I find that hard to understand too. I've heard the HE-1 and I'd trade my setup for it in a heartbeat.

Movies/TV on the 009 has got to be fairly awesome.

Yes, they are! Sometimes it is almost like surround sound. I can't wait until I get the Smyth Realiser A-16. That should be totally amazing.

HE-1 are warmer, more relaxing, with more theatrical volume. 009 are faster, more sparkling, kick harder (BHSE + Mesa Boogie t00bz)
Both are not right tonally speaking. Rightest cans out there are Milos' HE90 clones. 007 are just boring with blocked nose and dzingy highs, 009 a bit too demonstrative and out of this world fake tone, HE1 too polite and too dark, with something sterile.

Deal with it :D

wait until HeadAmp comes out end of this year with their new "all tube" design, that will top their BHSE....

I'm saving for a baby HE-1, should such a thing ever become available.

I was told at the CanJam HE-1 demo room that indeed a cheaper version without all the un-necessary stuff ( motorised tubes and pots...) is coming.

The night is dark and full of terrors... but these tubes will burn them all away :)
