Schiit Audio Vidar 2 Stereo/Mono Power Amplifier

Also note:

Here’s your ultra-high-end amplifier, without the ultra-high-end price. Vidar 2 is nothing less than an all-out, exotic-topology, Class-AB, linear-supply, microprocessor-controlled, power-doubling, dual-mono-ish, intelligently-managed, drives-almost-anything power amp that you’ll be happy with for a long, long time. Maybe forever!

Totally Modern Convenience…
Vidar has all the modern conveniences you expect, including a compact form factor, a convenient front-panel standby switch to save tons of power, and an intelligent microprocessor-driven oversight system that ensures the amp is operating optimally at all times—and protects your treasured speakers from harm.

…with Old Skool Quality
At the same time, don’t let the features fool you. Pick up Vidar 2 to get a real feeling for the beefy 600VA transformer inside. No Class D, no switching supplies, no fans…just powerhouse performance, delivering 100W per channel into 8 ohms, doubling to 200W per channel into 4 ohms.

Stereo or Mono Flexibility
Combine Vidar 2 with a single-ended preamp like Saga for an insanely affordable, insanely high performance system. Crazy? Want more? Run two Vidar 2s from a balanced preamp like Kara or Freya for true monoblock performance and 400 watts per channel into 8 ohms.

Designed and Built in California—For Real
By “designed and built in California" this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Vidar—chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis are made minutes from our California factory. Our PCBs are done just over the hill from us, or in NorCal. Our transformers are also made in California. You get the picture.
