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.

DAC: Gungnir Multibit

speakers: ascend acoustics sierra 2ex 
all the usual tweaks.

The term bi-amping gets thrown around a lot these days - often without any understanding.


 This sounds more like I couldn’t be bothered.
Like I said an experienced tech would take about an hour to do it and the parts cost are a pair of speaker terminal, I’ve done quite a few in the passed, it’s easy even for someone with basic electronic skills.

And sorry to tell you but they do do it.

@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.

Yes the bass could get "too" much if the Vidar has a touch more gain if your not using the Sys to gain match.

As for the Vidar not working when the Sys in in the mix wired up like this https://ibb.co/SRj7hPT , it could only be the wrong connection, not switched to the correct input, or the Schiit is faulty, I can’t see any other explanation for it not to work.

Can anyone one else here see a problem that I’m not seeing????

BTW the Vidar has 22 x gain and the Aegir is 12 x gain so there is quite a need for the Sys to be on the Vidar to equalize the gains.

There is no reason I can fathom why the Vidar did not work on the mid/bass with the Sys in this arrangement  https://ibb.co/SRj7hPT.

Something was not wired correctly, or the Sys is faulty.
(try again double checking all connections and put your Freya in solid state output mode)

@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. 
You have to use the Sys to lower the gain of the Vidar to match the Aegir.
As the Vidar has 22 x gain and the Aegir is 12 x gain, so there is quite a need for the Sys to be on the Vidar to equalize the gains. Without the Sys your speakers will sound too lower/mid and bass heavy.
