Schiit Tyr Monoblock Amplifier Reviews and Impressions

I guess I'll keep my scary ghost thoughts to movies, then. Thanks!

 

If bass is really important for you Aegir prob isn't the ticket. It was kinda limp on my old speakers which were about 95dB efficient w/15" woofers. Tyr or Wotan would prob be the move (if you could swing it)

 

Thanks for clarifying. My current Schiit stack is ‘blood and guts’ for now - but I want to say a word of thanks to @schiit for offering the Last Call pricing (to me who had bought the non-Forkbeard version of Tyrs less than a month before this translated to an unexpected rebate). Listening to the most recent podcast, it seems that when Tyr-F comes out it will have other extra tech in it as well, so will be considerably more expensive. So it’s a great deal that won’t be there for long.

 

Congratulations @schiit

High praise indeed. The Tyrs are endgame for me. I am sure if I looked hard enough I could find something I liked better. But not until potential several spins on the merry go round of spending way more money on amps that either did not sound right or were more of a side grade. I have already done that too much. This ABS writeup encapsulates how I feel about the Tyrs. They just get it right for me and my system. And the difficult to drive Mangepan 1.7i are absolutely man handled by the Tyrs. Great combo.

 

Wait... $3400 wins the *budget* award?

 

Curious as to people's impressions of Tyr vs Wotan (but I'm guessing that not many have heard both)

 

I was just joking to my wife that the most expensive audio product I own-- and that I bought 3 years ago-- is the budget product of the year in 2025.

 

Very likely we will use this in an ad...

"We just won Budget Product of the Year...for our most expensive product."

 

I tried to get my wife to come to Axpona with me so I could show her that my system was truly budget level. Would not take her long to realize in hi end audio the Tyrs are low budget.
