In the same category.
Beyond those all-natural class-A watts, the Aegir generates a total of 20Wpc into 8 ohms, doubling to 40Wpc into 4 ohms. If it does, you can easily run two Aegirs as monoblocks. Technically, Continuity is a way to eliminate transconductance droop outside of the Class A bias region, and extend the benefits of Class A biasing.
"The Aegir struck me as a design that will withstand and even rejoice in the scrutiny of time—much like the affordable Wharfedale, KEF, Harbeth, and Magnepan loudspeakers I tested it with.Unless you need more power or have an uncontrollable urge to spend more money, I can think of no arguments against Schiit's innovative Aegir.

It’s still one very hot-running amp. Resolving of microdetail, incredible microdynamics, and highly engaging. Well, here you go.
Our transformers are also made in California.
Best of all, Continuity ensures you see Class-A-like performance at all these power outputs.On Aegir, we’ve added a front-panel button to put the amp into Standby mode. There’s no grand conspiracy.Not much. But maybe not. If you aren’t using Freya, ask your preamp manufacturer if it has true balanced, differential outputs. no relatIon. It’s just the natural result of driving each channel with one half of a truly balanced signal. Well, here you go. The transformers are also made in California. Full Australian warranty. In fact in Schiit's faq they say : If Aegir was a normal Class A amp, it’d be biased at 20W for a 20W rating. Please Note: No Manufacturing Supply Date means we do not know when we are getting more due to the Virus, sorry we have no more information than this. It has an exotic current feedback topology, coupled with our unique Continuity output stage. You get the picture.Schiit Aegir is covered by a 5-year limited warranty that covers parts and labour.Frequency Response: 20Hz-20Khz, -0.1db, 3Hz-500KHz, -3dBInput Sensitivity: AKA Rated Output (Vrms)/Rated Gain.
I remember that Emotiva's XPA-1 L amp did 35 watts class A @ 8 ohms and 250 watts of power past that at that price. This music moves gracefully with Keith Jarrett on piano, Cecil McBee on bass, and Jack DeJohnette on drums. This is a review and measurements of the Schiit Aegir stereo Power (speaker) amplifier.
Sidebar 3: Measurements I performed a full set of measurements on the Schiit Aegir, using my Audio Precision SYS-2722 system (see the January 2008 "As We See It"). If you aren’t using Freya, ask your preamp manufacturer if it has true balanced, differential outputs. Continuity allows us to run less bias than Class A (though not a lot less) and have the amp act like Class A even when it’s putting out more power than its Class A bias.Okay. And that means REAL balanced outputs, not just XLR connectors. This keeps the rest of the amp up and running, without massive heat output.By “designed and built in California" this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Aegir—chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. £390 ... Schiit shill setup (Yggdrasil A2, USB club card, Saga (tung-sol), Aegir).
But Aegir is a Continuity amp, so it’s biased at 10W, rated at 20W, but can act pretty dang close to a Class A amp up to 80W or even higher, when run in mono.Nope, it is a unique output stage that uses both NPN and PNP devices on both rails, and selectively turns on additional devices to compensate for transconductance droop outside of the Class A bias region.We’ll do one better: we’ll give you an education.
Class A for Everyman? Our transformers are also made in California.
Well, here you go.

Resolving of microdetail, incredible microdynamics, and highly engaging. Run mono, and you’ll see 80W into 8 ohms. AEGIR OWNER’S MANUAL. thIs Is the thIrd generatIon of our magnI.
Schiit Audio Aegir User Manual. Like Vidar, Aegir uses a dual-mono-to-the-transformer design for the main output power supply (the most important place to use it). Also, if you like your house hot (like, 30 degrees C and above), you may have to use an external fan to avoid thermal shutdown.
No, wait, strike that. What if we made a better-than-Class-A-in-many-respects version of the Vidar? Sign in with Facebook Super immediate, emotionally involved, could hear the smoke from Ella Fitzgerald's throat." Schiit Aegir is the first Continuity speaker amplifier, extending a technology they introduced with the Lyr 3 headphone amp. Disclaimers are over for the day. It’s still a very hot-running amp, though, with over 10W of Class A standing bias.Like Vidar, Aegir uses an exotic current-feedback topology, as well as a 100% linear power supply (with 7 separate voltage rails and 600VA transformer) and microprocessor oversight to eliminate capacitors and DC servos in the signal path. April 5, 2019. Technically, Continuity is a way to eliminate transconductance droop outside of the Class A bias region, and extend the benefits of Class A biasing. Our PCBs are done just over the hill from us, or done in NorCal. This doesn’t mean that it’s liquid-cooled, nor do we intend to add liquid cooling, nor is it a veiled attempt to inject audiophilic words like “liquid” into this conversation. No Class D, no switching supplies, no fans, no compromises, nothing in the signal path but music—for a three-figure price tag.Aegir provides 20W into 8 ohms, doubling to 40W into 4 ohms. No Class D, no switching supplies, no fans, no compromises, nothing in the signal path but music—for a three-figure price tag.Aegir provides 20W into 8 ohms, doubling to 40W into 4 ohms. This de-biases the output stage completely and reduces standing power consumption significantly. 100% secure payments.
