Schiit Audio Gjallarhorn Stereo Power Amplifier

Schiit Audio Gjallarhorn Stereo Power Amplifier Introduction

Schiit Audio Gjallarhorn Stereo Power Amplifier . Brand: Schiit Audio (Made in USA). . Model: Gjallarhorn Stereo Power Amplifier. . Colour: Matte black. . Yes, the company name seems unusual, but for more info on that, try https://www.schiit.com/ . It is by no means, indicative of the quality of their audio gear. All of their products typically receive excellent reviews in the audio journals. . This is a nice little audiophile power amplifier that won’t break your electricity bill every month. It mates well with quality audio gear such as a Pre-amplifier, DAC, and Equalizer for example. Matches especially well with other audio components from audiophile hardware manufacturer, Schiit Audio in the USA. . I used this amp for about 3-4 weeks with excellent results (attached to good cables), and the only reason I am selling it is because I purchased new speakers which require more power. *Important Note* This amp is not high-powered, relative to some of the components that are out there from other manufacturers. It is suited for speakers that are of high sensitivity. Schitt Audio recommends a sensitivity rating of 90db or higher, in order to satisfy normal requirements for 8-ohm unpowered speakers. However, the Schiit Audio Gjallarhorn power amp can be paired with a second Gjallarhorn amp, and the pair can be run in a dual mono-block configuration, effectively doubling the power output. This amp is also suitable for 4-ohm speakers.
