Should I sell my accuphase for this schiit


I have a super bad ass totally restored Accuphase p-250. I kind of really want to buy a pair of schiit aegir and use them as monoblock amps.  Am I crazy? Will the aegir blow me away? What do you think? 
This is for a bedroom system.

@georgehifi I do have have the Vidar and the Aegir . I am interested in your suggestion on a horizontal bi amping VS mono block config. These two amps have different powers as you know yet the diagram you posted has only one preamp as the master volume. I read that this kind of bi amping works only if one amp of the two to be used has a volume control. How exactly do I insert a Schiit sys in the signal path or in that diagram. Thanks for your time. My preamp is a Freya Plus 
@georgehifi Wow . Thanks so much for this diagram. You even included names of each component. Thanks so much. 
@georgehifi  I am experimenting with horizontal bi amping per your suggestion using Vidar and Aegir . But if you remember you gave me a diagram that incorporated the Sys to specifically control the volume on the Vidar. I did try that diagram, however the Vidar in that diagram does not work at all. Only the Aegir. I did try a different diagram (without the sys) you also posted (I believe) and that one worked . The bass response increases. However, I feel that the bass can get boomy on SOME  tracks because the vidar and the Aegir are not level matched perfectly. I am wondering if the result will be a lot better if the SYS can work. Don’t get me wrong I am actually liking the result and the bass quantity improves quite a bit. 
@georgehifi I tried the diagram with the sys and it does work 👍.  I will make comparisons in the coming days which is better  the diagram with or without the sys . Thanks 😊 again.
