Eddie, use the 30 day return policy on that Schiit
Should I sell my accuphase for this schiit
I have a super bad ass totally restored Accuphase p-250. I kind of really want to buy a pair of schiit aegir and use them as monoblock amps. Am I crazy? Will the aegir blow me away? What do you think?
This is for a bedroom system.

@georgehifi I haven't done much digging to verify how significantly the quality degrades when bridging an amplifier. Though I did recently look at the "Guaranteed" specs of the Accuphase A-65, for example, which is a super high quality amp with a massive power supply. It shows an improvement in THD while in bridged mode, provided speaker ohm is not less than 4 ohm. However, they still claim bi-amping is best for "optimum sound quality". Stats below from http://www.accuphase.com/cat/a-65_e.pdf Total Harmonic Distortion Stereo operation (both channels driven) 0.07% with 2 ohm load 0.05% with 4 to 16 ohm load Monophonic operation (bridged connection) 0.03%, with 4 to 16 ohm load Can anyone explain the above stat and why it contradicts the claim that bridging has a negative affect on distortion?
