Schiit Aegir power amplifier low power Class-A linear amp Stereophile review

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...

I love Schiit and what they are doing.

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.

I've also been happily pleased with my Schiit gear and with the price of their gear flying in the face of everyone else just makes me smile. I love great sounding gear that normal people can afford.

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.

I just ordered the new Freya+. Why? Because Mike mentioned that they are almost sold out AGAIN, and I, in righteous indignation snapped one up before they are gone and I have to wait another few weeks to only put it off again and then regret it. Uh, I think there’s something odd with my thought process there, but trust me, I’m happy! :)

I'm pretty sure that the Aegir is not for me as I don't have efficient speakers, but if I ever do...
