Schiit Aegir power amplifier low power Class-A linear amp Stereophile review
I posted about that review on the audio karma forum. There was surprise expressed, with one poster immediately disparaging Stereophile. Mind you Stereophile also praised the amp brand that this particular poster was raving about, but no word on whether Stereophile got those amp reviews wrong as well! That's a major achievement for Schiit, they are really on a roll. |
I'm very happy with my 12wpc Dennis Had tube amp, but have been interested (or just curious about 'em) in a Pass XA25 for a while, although haven't dropped the 4900 clams for one yet...I own a few Schiit products already and think they're very well done and sonically superb items (preamp, EQ, headphone amps), but the Stereophile article bumping the Aegir to "class A" got my attention and perhaps saved me 4 grand...I haven't pulled the trigger on an Aegir yet but I might soon as it just seems like a lot of fun for relatively small bucks. Note that now that I've mentioned this a few times I'm gonna look like an a'hat if I DON'T buy one...damn...painted into a corner... |

Schiit are usually on the marketing mark, but missed one big opportunity to dominate the market with harder to drive bigger bi-amp'able speakers. https://www.stereophile.com/comment/588159#comment-588159 Cheers George |
George: Yeah, it’s good stuff, without the "million dollar external gilding" that sucks so many "glitz queens" into paying 10 x what they should. Just so they can gaze in amazement at their purchases while "trying" to listen to music. "Dam! I should have been a poet" look out Leonard. Cheers George |
