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

George:
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.

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

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...

Aegirs are currently back ordered a couple of weeks, so more user reviews should be raining down shortly as it seems there's going to be a lot of those amps floating around.

I have been looking for a pair of used Aegirs to show up but at the tiny discount people are willing to pay for used ones I might just do a new purchase, (back ordered or not). There was a listing on eBay a couple of days ago for $680 + $60 shipping = $740 plus tax. After shipping differences, that’s only a $90 discount ($800 + $30 shipping from Schiit) for used and NO WARRANTY. I offered a reasonable $550 + $60 shipping - but it got bought at full price within minutes. I find the used marketplace for Schiit gear irrational at often only a 10% - 15% discount. (as much as they might offer good ’value’ at new prices).

Not yet they were only released a short while back, unless people bought them not knowing you only had 20w to play with and it wasn't enough for what they wanted to do.
