Fine I'm looking at it from the back sorry

Can you take a photo of the back of one of your Vidar amps with everything plugged in and post it here?

Jason, the Eitr. I haven't listened to it yet. But the the guys that do the metal did such a great job. Looks like a 45° bevel all around and rounded corners. Very nice. Matches Mimby but even better corners. Same goes for Vidar, very nice. Take another bow. Poor little SYS!

Okay, I just did a test. I setup my single Vidar amp as a monoblock. I connected it to Freya using an XLR interconnect and plugged the positive speaker banana plug into the top right binding post and the plugged the negative speaker banana plug into the top left binding post. Nothing else was plugged into the Vidar amp.

I found a constant volume 432Hz tone on YouTube and played it. I measured the sound level with an iPhone app of 88.4db. I hooked everything back up into stereo mode and measured the sound level again. This time it was 82.7db. That is 5.7db less. Just what is expected.

Many this is one of those cases where it is so clean and void of distortion it doesn't sound as loud.

For any one upset or worried about the name of the company or the inevitable jokes that follow, I recommend re-reading Chapter 4 of this book. Then get your Schiit together and get over yourself.

It's their company. They can call it whatever they want. It's my opinion and that can be whatever I want it to be. I'm far too important (at least to myself) to get over. Seems to me this entire discussion is pretty much a tempest in a toilet bowl.

That all looks correct. Can you do the test I did?

As a side note, do you see the "R" in between the binding posts? It's short for "Right"....

To make sure, when getting dual Vidars, and running them in Mono, the power is 400 watts PER CHANNEL, right?

Yes just saw it . I was actually describing the Vidar from the rear view , not right and left channel .

How many forums do you need to ask this on??

Yes, 400 watts at 8 ohms in monoblock. That's per monoblock.....

It's all on Schiit's web site.

.

Two.

We can click on "Like" for obvious reasons. Has any forum had "Don't Like"? Would that be too confrontational?

Yes, a forum that shall not be named has dislike buttons, and it's as fun and friendly as you can imagine...

Warm but not hot . It has been on for several hours.

Thank you.

 

[Pandahead]

Thank you.

Mine has been on for 8 hours. It didn't take long to get to the point where you wouldn't want to leave your hand on the top more than a couple seconds before becoming really uncomfortable. Kind of Lyr coffee pot warmer hot if you have one of those. Not a big deal at all. If it was in a cabinet I would want a ventilation fan ready in case it tripped. Of course it's load dependant so for the record the speakers driven are 91db efficient and 8 ohm.
