georgehifi Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) My guess it's just the Vidar (great amp btw) with far less rail volts, and biased up full into Class-A, hence no internal shots perhaps??? https://www.schiit.com/products/aegir Just the thing for Quad ESL 57 users, who don't want to rock it out too much, and high efficiency speakers users. Kinda takes me back to the far bigger, more $$$$$$, more current ability "legendary" Mark Levinson ML2 25w monoblocks.

F18 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I generally avoid any hyped review by SG. Almost every review he does is "this is the best amplifier" etc etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugly Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I generally avoid any hyped review by SG. Almost every review he does is "this is the best amplifier" etc etc.Fair enough. I take all reviews with a grain of salt. The sbaf guys tend to love their schiit and could be accused of fanboyism. However in context, they weren't nearly as enthusiastic about the Vidar as they are about Aegir. I'd love to try a pair of aegirs for myself.

Volunteer sir sanders zingmore Posted May 22, 2019 Volunteer Share Posted May 22, 2019 What does this mean: “Continuity ensures you see Class-A-like performance at all these power outputs.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky500 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 20 minutes ago, Sir Sanders Zingmore said: What does this mean: “Continuity ensures you see Class-A-like performance at all these power outputs.” Continuity™: Benefits Beyond Class A Aegir is our first Continuity speaker amplifier, extending a technology we introduced with the Lyr 3 headphone amp. Technically, Continuity is a way to eliminate transconductance droop outside of the Class A bias region, and extend the benefits of Class A biasing. It also solves the NPN and PNP device mismatch problem, since it uses both NPN and PNP devices on both rails. It’s still a very hot-running amp, though, with over 10W of Class A standing bias.

Volunteer sir sanders zingmore Posted May 22, 2019 Volunteer Share Posted May 22, 2019 That’s much clearer now .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripitaka Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I see that Addicted to Audio have these at $1400 but only in Silver. If they sold the black (which is available in the States) I'd probably take a punt on a unit, with a view to grabbing two if I liked it. But since they dont, I'll just wait and see.
