[Ordered a Schiit Aegir (single) for my Cornwalls....]

Been running my Cornwalls on VTA M125 Monoblocks for over 10 years - but having serious issues with the amps.  Working those out - I ordered the Schiit Aegir.

 

Seems it will be a good match - I'm going to run one in stereo mode - and they try it with XLR - mono mode - I'll use my working tube amp to complete it - to guesstamate what monos would be like.

 

If it works out - I might buy a second one - or simply return it.

 

Hoping it works out.

 

Did you ever get the 2nd Aegir?  I was wondering what your thoughts were if there was a big advantage when going from 1 to 2 ran in mono? 

And then once that’s figured out, how does the Vidar compare?

 

My current setup:

 

Bluesound Node - Bifrost2 - Willsenton R8 - Cornwall IVs 

 

Subwoofer: Golden Ear SupSub XXL - (ran speaker wire through a Russound ADP-1.2 Speaker-level to Line-level Adapter) **Don’t judge - I already had the sub in my living room for my HT setup. Lol. 🤣🤣. I drug it to the room with my stereo setup because I wanted to add a sub with the Cornwalls. 

 

I’m very new to all of this and I wanted to get the Freya+ and start experimenting a little.

 

I’ve searched this thread looking for the final verdict on the best Cornwall IV/Schiit setup regarding powering them with either a:

 

Vidar vs. 1 Aegir vs. 2 Aegirs

 

Thank you.
