n brio-
I know nothing about the Hegels amp you refer to. New amps do need time to break-in perhaps 100 hours or so. That said...
You may well be missing the tube pre-amp. My best guess is a D1100 and 452 would not give you the sweet mids you are after. Would you consider another 2600 with a 452? Another possibility might be the 275 tube amp depending on your speaker efficiency.
Listening is always the most important factor in making these decisions. Do you have a dealer local or somewhat local that can provide a demo?
