Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir?

With all the publicity about this amplifier, including an unprecidented Class A Stereophile rating for an $800 amplifier, I am curious as to why this amplifier seems never to have been reviewed (or allowed to be reviewed) "professionally" in its bridged mode. 

Its 8 ohm output is only 20 waits single and is 80 watts bridged.  Especially since 20 watts is insufficient for a lot (most?) speaker-room environments and  80 watts can easily accommodate a lot more speakers and users, it seems all the more bizzare.

Any thoughts?

I agree - odd that there are not professional reviews using them in a monoblock setup.

Odd indeed. But they worked well in Mono configuration otherwise? What speakers were you using?

My Aegir just arrived a few days ago, but I'm very impressed. I was worried about the relatively low power (prior amp was a Hypex nCore with 150 watts/ch) and my medium efficient speakers (Ohm 1000s at 88 dB).  The Aegir should put out around 30 watts/channel into the 6 ohm 1000s. 

The smoothness and clarity are amazing from bass through the highs. No sense of graininess or stridency at all. Perhaps the biggest improvement is the resolution of lower level background sounds. It is a real step-up with an improvement in holographic qualities.

I was worried about the lower power. I'm not a head-banger in terms of volume -- 80 to 85 dB average is about as loud as I routinely listen. The Aegir seemed to coast along without problem at this level so I pulled out my voltmeter and sound-level meter to see how much power I was actually using. On average, at 85 dB with the odd peak up to 93 or 94 dB, I was using an average of 1 to 2 watts per channel to reach this level. Cranking it up to an average of 90 dB (which I find uncomfortable) still showed no sign of stressing the amp. 

I'm going to continue experimenting and testing as I go along in the trial period, but so far I am really pleased.
