Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir?


Was curious if anyone had purchased a Schiit Aegir? I was wondering how it sounds.

However, all you can do is try. You might also consider running two Aegirs as monoblocks.
I wouldn’t do that, yes wattage goes up, but all other properties go down, when you bridge.

Much preferable way if the speakers have bi-wirable speaker terminals.
Is to horizonal bi-amp, using the stereo Aegir in it’s Class-A glory for the uppermids/highs that’s it’s forte, and then a using a much more powerful Vidar for the bass.
And a $49 Sys passive to equalize the gain of both because they have different gains No bridging and no loss of quality on either.
They are very similar in circuit design and will sound as one, just the lower wattage Class-A Aegir is being used where it shines, in the uppermids/highs and won’t be stressed trying to do bass also, that’s up to the Vidar.

Thanks, George. That's a good idea for those who listen at loud volumes and have speakers that accommodate using two amps configured as you suggest. However, that wouldn't work for me. Ohms have just one driver that handles the whole range up to 8K or 9K and then use a single tweeter to supplement above that, with only a single set of terminals for both drivers.

Fortunately, for my preferred listening level the Aegir is proving to be a great choice for me.  I'm continuing to experiment with a wide variety of music (with the meters still connected) and haven't found a situation yet that seems to stress the amp or demand more power than what's available.  Obviously whether that works for others is something they'll have to check out themselves.  Those who want high volume will be out of luck with a single Aegir unless they have very efficient speakers.

Thanks, George. That’s a good idea for those who listen at loud volumes and have speakers that accommodate using two amps configured as you suggest.
No, that bi-amp’ing configuration, is not for getting louder music, bridging two amps into mono is, but looses out on quality all over.
It’s 20w of Class-A still for mids and highs with the Aegir, just not making it do bass, which the Vidar would be better at anyway.

So far, I have no complaints about bass quality with the Aegir. My prior amp was a Hypex nCore and before that, a Bel Canto Ice amp. I detected no loss of bass quality with the Aegir.
