If you’re happy with what you have, then stay put.
With that said, the Aegir is a Stereophile Class A rated amp.
I know what I would do.
But you need to be comfortable with what you want.
I’ve heard them several times and with different types of music. To say they are UNBEATABLE is an understatement. When your wife (someone that could give a rats a## about audio) looks at you and smiles and nods, that’s all you need to know.
