    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I think they would work. I use Devore Nines (91 db at 8 ohms) with OG Aegir monoblocks in a 12 x 22 x 9.5’ room. Plenty of power. TBH I can probably get by with one in stereo but like the extra power. Adding this caveat… if the Triangles spend most of their time at 4 ohms, then that can...

    Thanks! I’ve had the DNA-1 for over 25 years. It’s a little noisy — old caps — but still makes music. Might send it to Steve McCormack some day for an upgrade. In the meantime, though, the Aegirs are remarkably good and these speakers don’t need that DNA-1 power.

    Two Aegirs are better than one — at least to me. Ended up returning the Aegir 2 and getting another OG Aegir to run balanced as monoblocks. The speakers are liking the additional power.

    This photo should come with a trigger warning. Not for discussion here but that speaker company has had a rough week.

    I wasn’t trying to hit protection mode when I hit it with the Aegir 2. I was just listening a little louder than normal because I had the house to myself. Was kind of surprised actually. Then I switched to Aegir 1 and didn’t hit protection mode at the same volume, same song, same everything...

    No, it’s actually the Aegir 2 that’s tripping protection at lower volume than the Aegir 1. That’s what surprised me,

    Both the Aegir 2 and Aegir 1 are in the same room sitting out on a rack with nothing around them -- lots of air circulation -- and ambient temperature is around 67 degrees. I'm able to push the Aegir 1 harder than the Aegir 2, which is why I'm wondering about my Aegir 2. I expected it to go a...

    You might be right and that's much louder than I normally listen to anyway. I was more surprised that it's going into protection mode at volumes that are lower than my Aegir 1. I just didn't expect that and want to make sure there's not something wrong with my Aegir 2.

    No, its' the same RCA cables into the Aegir 2 as I use into the Aegir 1. Both are RCA only if running stereo, which is how I use each one.

    Thanks! Me too! It really is a very good amp and the truth is that it's not going into protection mode at my normal listening levels. I just want to make sure there isn't something wrong with it. I wouldn't expect it to go into protection mode at lower volume than my Aegir 1, which is...

    I've had the Aegir 2 for about 3 weeks now. I really (!) like this amp but it's going into protection mode -- even at volumes slightly lower than when I'm listening to my original Aegir. That kind of surprised me. I've reached out to customer service to see if that's expected or maybe my...

    My Aegir 2 arrived last Friday. Unboxed it, had a first listening session, pushed it hard (and put it into protection mode) and then lowered the volume back down to listen at normal levels. Straight out of the box, I liked it. Have listened to it for the past 3 nights and have really enjoyed...

    Yeah, I probably don’t need any more power than the OG Aegir has to overwhelm my listening room. That said, I think having a little more power might get a little more from the speakers. We’ll see. I also just trust Jason when he says he’s created a better sounding Aegir.

    Order has been placed. I bought a used Aegir about a month ago to pair with my Freya + and Devore Nines speakers. Have really enjoyed it but know that I could use a little more power. If the Aegir 2 doesn’t do it, then my next step will be to just buy one more Aegir or Aegir 2. I’m...
