    Damn, already packed. But I'm in too for the NYC area. If the NYC guys want to do a little meet to check it out, that might be more efficient.

    Whoa, no you keep monoblocking. We need you on them octo-woofer R&D projects.

    Plus I'll likely hear it when @AdvanTech gets it. :)

    I need two more woofers. I refuse to pay MSRP/new pricing. I’m fully cheapass these days.

    Let’s do this. Otherwise it will be 2021 before I get to hear it.

    As always, impressions are required.

    Has this made its way out yet? I am moving by the end of June. I am trying to gauge when I might expect this to arrive. I've got a window between June 20 and July 5 where it's not feasible for me to receive and test the amp appropriately. It's further complicated by a job transition and relocation which is actually not yet set in stone.

    With the current East to West lineup, I may be receiving this just as I'm starting to pack up depending on where it is now.

    Aegir arrived. The top of the box was pretty beat up, but all looks good inside. Looking forward to listening!

    Any Aegir owners in the NYC area? Would really be ideal to compare the single loaner in town to other amps in mono mode.

    Handed off Aegir to @sphinxvc this morning. Will post impressions in the appropriate thread once I collect my thoughts. Thanks for setting this up SBAF.

    Edit: impressions posted here

    Maybe we need a newly ordered list since the more recent decision to go east to west. If all the NY guys have had a chance to listen (at a mini-meet?) Then wouldn't it go to @JoshMorr next?

    Gents, sorry to be a pain but is it possible to swap positions with @Scott Kramer and me? I am moving in 2 weeks and I want to ensure I have a couple days before I need to pack up my stereo, then ship the Aegir out just before I pack everything away.

    @ChaChaRealSmooth please take me off this loaner tour. Despite being backordered I just went ahead and ordered an Aegir anyway. I'll still post impressions after it arrives.
