I was planning to get the Saga/Vidar combo, but then heard about the upcoming Aegir. On paper it sounds like the Aegir will provide better sound quality than the Vidar...but has the trade-off of less power. Other than physically testing the units out, is there a way to determine how much power I actually need? Maybe 20W for my 8ohm speakers would be sufficient in my space? Maybe not? Measuring DBs? Measuring power draw with a Kill-A-Watt?I'd heartily recommend Vidar. Plenty of power and mine sounds great. I listen to all types of music.
I currently have two Boston Acoustics CR-75 bookshelf speakers powered by an old Denon DRA-375, in moderate-sized living room space..This setup sounds pretty good with my Bimby MB, but it seems like a new amp/preamp could do wonders for improving my sound quality. I wouldn't want to hold out for Aegir if I could tell ahead of time that it wouldn't work for me...
