Schiit Audio Aegir amplifier

Schiit Audio Aegir Continuity Power Amplifier in silver. Comes in original box with owner's manual and AC Power Cord. The amp is 4 months old. I purchased 2 Aegir amps and I decided that one has all the power that I need.

Stereophile Recommended Component: A (Solid State) Schiit Aegir

The solid-state Aegir amplifier uses a proprietary class of operation called Continuity, which gets around certain limitations of class-AB operation—particularly transconductance droop beyond the class-A power envelope—by means of a current-feedback topology. It's specified at 20Wpc into 8 ohms and 40Wpc into 4 ohms and runs a bit hot—but not as hot as one might expect from a pure class-A amp of the same output. HR described the "titillating physical pleasures" of the made-in-California Aegir driving Wharfedale Linton loudspeakers as something he could "live [with], satisfied, forever," and praised the pairing of Schiit Aegir and Harbeth P3ESRs as offering "80% of the . . . detail-rich humanity" he hears from his $4000 reference amplifier. In measuring the Aegir, JA found higher than specified output power—28Wpc into 8 ohms, 43Wpc into 4 ohms—and described the Schiit as "a well-engineered amplifier at an affordable price." Herb's conclusion: "a design that will withstand and even rejoice in the scrutiny of time." (Vol.42 No.10 WWW)
