Schiit Aegir

Well, I can't directly answer your question but I can say that after ordering a Freya S and two Aegirs two weeks ago mostly for grins (they would be used in my work-out room and not my main listening room), I just cancelled my order. The reason; two weeks have gone by since my order and I have heard nothing from the company except non-specific "we are working on it". Schiit claims to list expected ship dates on their website and both showed that they could be shipped within 7 days when I ordered. What their website does not do is show any status on your order. When you log in it shows your previous order but no status report. If their website simply indicated "out of stock", "being prepared for shipment" or "shipped", I would have held on a bit longer. For $2500 after being hit up for tax and shipping, there are equal or better options. They need to up their game imho. 

That’s unfortunate. They have always had good customer service in the past. I hope it’s a temporary issue.

. Xmas/NewYear/Holidays, time, it’s sad it happens, they need to give better info though, especially now, as they’re probably working with a skeleton staff.

Of the 4 pieces of Schiit I've ordered I have only had a delay once when I ordered my preamp.It's a great product and they're a small company so things happen. btw the Aegir is a fantastic amp for the money with higher efficient speakers and even better in mono block mode.

Thanks for the replies. I’m considering two as mono amps but my Modwright preamp is single ended only. 

I think the Aegir amp sounds great, but not greater than a single ended tube amp I have...so I sent it back. I yammer about this at length in the "Schiit not that good?" thread, and note that I'm a Schiit fan except when the Schiit hits the fan, so to speak.

Just got my Aegir Mono's and am very surprised. I like them a lot. Maybe it's just that I got an entire new system that sounds very different then what I'm used to, but the Aegir's in mono with my LS50 high and low passed to a KEF KF92 powered by my DACMagic 200m (awaiting my Gustard R26) sound excellent. The system is in my garage which is about 35 ft by 30 ft and I'm blown away by how much it fills the whole thing with very detailed and lively sound. 

Been listening almost exclusively to old CDs on a 10 year old CD player (HK DVD47) which still through coax sounds damn impressive.

I've had an Aegir for close to two years now and it is excellent. I've been very impressed with the sound quality and its dynamic power for a relatively low wattage amp. And that is after trying several different much higher wattage amps. It's a keeper for me.
