Performance Specs

One of the most important factors when deciding on an integrated amplifier is its power ratings and compatibility with your speaker's impedance requirements.The Schiit Vidar 2F is rated at 100 watts RMS into 8-ohms. Schiit Audio provides this wattage at a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of 0.004% which is an important indicator of distortion at the given values (lower THD is better).

Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:

  • 100 watts into 8-ohms (20 Hz-20 kHz) at 0.004%
  • 200 watts into 4-ohms
  • 123dB Signal to Noise Ratio

Which speakers suit the Schiit Vidar 2F?

100 W into 8 ohms, 200 W into 4. We rank every passive speaker we cover against it on power, impedance safety and current delivery.

We check power, impedance safety and current delivery — not just watts.

When pairing the Schiit Vidar 2F with a passive Bookshelf (Stand mount) or Passive Floor Standing (Tower) speaker, you have to check if their Max Power Range is below the max wattage of the amp for the given impedance levels. Operating your amp outside of this max range may damage the speakers.


What size of room is the Schiit Vidar 2F Amplifier good for?

An essential deciding factor is the size of the room in which you intend to employ the Schiit Vidar 2F amplifier. Here, taking into account its maximum power parameters, we analyzed its applicability to various size environments:

Frequently Asked Questions about Schiit Vidar 2F

How much power does the Schiit Vidar 2F have?

The Schiit Vidar 2F delivers 100 watts x 2 channels into 8 ohms, 200 watts x 2 channels into 4 ohms, and 400 watts into 8 ohms bridged to mono. Its output almost doubles into 4 ohms, which points to a strong power supply that can hold its composure with demanding, low-impedance speakers.

Does the Schiit Vidar 2F use vacuum tubes?

No. The Schiit Vidar 2F is a solid-state amplifier - there are no vacuum tubes in it.

What amplifier class is the Schiit Vidar 2F?

The Schiit Vidar 2F uses a Class A/B amplifier design. Class A/B is the traditional linear design: it runs warmer and is less efficient than Class D, but it is long valued for its natural, low-distortion sound.

Does the Schiit Vidar 2F have a built-in DAC?

No. The Schiit Vidar 2F has no built-in DAC, so a digital source such as a streamer or CD transport needs its own converter, or you connect it over analogue.

Can I connect a turntable to the Schiit Vidar 2F?

No. The Schiit Vidar 2F has no phono input, so a turntable needs an external phono preamp (or a deck with one built in) before it can be connected.

Does the Schiit Vidar 2F have Bluetooth?

No. The Schiit Vidar 2F does not have Bluetooth built in; you would need an external Bluetooth receiver connected to one of its inputs.

Does the Schiit Vidar 2F have a headphone output?

No. The Schiit Vidar 2F does not have a headphone output, so headphone listening needs a separate headphone amplifier.

How much does the Schiit Vidar 2F cost?

The Schiit Vidar 2F has a manufacturer's list price (MSRP) of $799.
