@ 395garrison, I run my 4435 monitors, with a pair of schiit aegir mono blocks. And the (SQ) is great. My monitors have two 15’’ woofers, the aegirs drive them with no problem. One aegir in mono is 40 watts @ 8 Ohms, 80 watts @ 4 Ohms. I think if you buy them and if you do not like them just return them back to schiit .For the money i think they are fine amps. IMO. BTW, What georgehifi said about bi-amping the vandersteen 2ce sig II is correct. :-)
Monoblock Aegirs
I am moving my old Vandersteen 2ce sig II out of the media room and setting up a 2 channel listening room in a pretty good size space in our front room, 25’ x 25’ with a large adjoining dinning room and 10’ ceilings. I have been known to be asked to turn it down by the wife. I was looking at getting a Cambridge Audio CXN V2 for streaming duties connected to a Schiit Freya + preamp and I am debating on amplification. Curious if anyone has hooked up a pair of monoblock Aegirs to the Sig II’s and how well they drove them on the bottom end? Or am I better off with the Vidar?
Thanks
Thanks

ditusa191 "BTW, What georgehifi said about bi-amping the vandersteen 2ce sig II is correct. :-)"Thanks fort the info, it seems that several people are having pretty good luck running them as bridged monoblocks. Which part are you referring to, that running your amps as monoblocks is a waste of good amps or that Vandersteen’s manual saying not to do horizontal bi-amplification with dissimilar amplifiers is is incorrect? Not trying to be argumentative, or discounting anyone’s experience, just looking for the best solution and tend to be one who follows instruction manuals. But you are correct, I can always return the Schiit! Garrison |
