Description

This product is available for pre-order now, with an ETA of early May.

This product is Forkbeard compatible. Forkbeard module is not included and must be purchased separately.

Here’s your ultra-high-end amplifier, without the ultra-high-end price. Vidar 2F 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 2F 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 2F 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. 

Forkbeard™: Power Output, Remote Standby, Health Alerts
Vidar 2F includes the Forkbeard option, the only multi-product, multi-stack, unified control system. One iOS app gives you complete visibility of instant power output, remote control of Standby mode, health alerts for over-temperature and over-current conditions, and integrates with many other Schiit products.

Flexibility and Affordability
Combine Vidar 2F with the Saga 2 preamp for a 100% Forkbeard, insanely high value system. Crazy? Want more? Run two Vidar 2s from Saga 2, Kara F, or Freya+ F for true monoblock performance and 400 watts per channel into 8 ohms.

  • Power: tons; one Vidar 2F is plenty for almost any pair of speakers; two is nuts
  • Noise: inaudible at the listening position
  • Distortion: inaudible, 10-100x lower than any speaker you're using
  • Heat: amp gets moderately warm at typical volumes, runs cold when in Standby
  • Size: very compact for a 2 x 100W amplifier
