Monoblock Aegirs

If they sound different they by definition don’t have the same transfer function 

logic is brutal

I have single Aegir with vandersteen sig I’s. There is plenary of low end when the song is produced that way. I know people always think the bass is missing but it will vary from recording to recording. When I put on Pink Floyd the wall through quobuz the bass is over the top. All Stevie Ray Vaughan on vinyl has plenty of low end. I can also get plenty of volume when I need it. I have almost pulled the trigger many times on a second one and will some day, but I am very contend with current set up.

@ 395garrison, Yes they do. My point was if,one Aegir in mono drives them with no problem with two 15’’ woofers. One Aegir in mono should drive your Vandersteen with no problem with one 8’’ woofer. One Aegir in mono is 40 watts @8 Ohms. 40 Watts for your Vandersteens i think is good. So my point is two Aegir should work good. IMO, BTY, I think bi-amping is great ,Just more money more amps. I was just trying to give some insight on the amp. Mike. I hope that helps. :-)

Any amp that is mono'd including these Aegir's have bridged output stages. And when that's done they DON"T drive the bass when it has low impedance as good as the same amp in stereo mode.

As a bridged output stage as in the mono'd Aegir,
Is higher in output impedance (bad)
Lower in damping factor (bad)
Lower current ability(bad)
Higher in distortion(bad)  
Less stable in to low impedances (very bad).
But you have higher wattage?
  
You make what was a good stereo amp into "almost" a higher wattage PA amp. Good for easy >8ohm load speakers, just to get higher dB's and go loud.
