Schiit Aegir-Burn in Period

200 hours seems to be a good. That’s what it took with the Hegel H390.

All the best.

Thanks to all for the input, I think I am close to reaching 100 hours and was wondering if I can expect any additional improvement. So far so good. Thanks Bob.

I just got an Aegir 2 today, and within first 20 minutes, pushed it into protection mode.  It simply couldn't handle some serious George Duke funk!

Oh... and I'm running it into my Cornwall IV's.  I really like the sound so far, but the high's have a papery swishy sound to to them, that I hope will clear up When or IF it  breaks in.  I'm hearing other really good qualities though, but if it keeps shutting down on me, that will be a deal breaker.  I really thought 30wpc would be plenty for my Cornwalls.

@mirolab  I ended up returning the Aegir 2 because it was going into protection at lower volume than my original Aegir, which surprised me.  I ended up returning it for that reason and getting another OG Aegir to run monoblocks.  Very happy with them.  To be honest, though, I liked the sound of the Aegir 2 more than the OG Aegir.  It’s a great amp.

I just ordered an Aegir 2 amp yesterday and I'm a little wary over if going to be enough power for my B&W 706 s2 speakers. The minimum wpc of the B&W's is 30 the same as the max of Aegir 2 is 30. I have been using an Emotiva BasX A4 bi-amped to 4 channels with 100 wpc and it sounds pretty good to me. But I can't help but wonder how much better it would sound with a higher quality of an amp. I guess I'm weighing out if losing the much higher wpc with the emotiva will negate the benefit of low wattage but a higher sonic quality I have a Rel T/X7 for the bottom which hopefully helps enough given that the Aegir 2 lower wpc may give off a lower bass impression off the speakers themselves. I would love to hear all of your opinions before the Aegir is shipped.
