mccormack or odyssey

Ill pick the Oddyssey extreme.I agree with Beatlebum.

klaus is great-its nice to talk to the owner-
i have extreme monos:)

I have a McCormack DNA-125 and have been quite impressed with it. FYI - Steve McCormack (smcaudio@aol.com)offers an upgrade path for the amp. I am looking forward to this option when I can afford it. Supposedly, the upgraded amps are quite competitive with most amps, regardless of $$$.

I do not have any experience with Odyssey.

Regards,

Everyone here recommending the Odyssey has an "extreme" or monoblock configuration. These are probably significant upgrades from the Odyssey Stratos w/ the Cap upgrade you are asking about. I had this unit and it was only fine, not great. I sold it and upgraded to a Krell. I'm much happier now.

I don't have any experience w/ the McCormack. Both amps are highly regarded.

Hammer, I am glad you are happy with your Krell,thats
the bottom line,In my system, I prefer the Oddyssey
extreme,How long did you have them? It takes 3 months
to break in,finding the right cabling is the key,What
is it, that you did not like? I myself, I almost given up,
on them, they only sound fine before they break in.A
year later, I tried much more expensive amps,2 to 3x
the price, I still feel the Oddyssey are more musical,
IMS of course.I did try the Krell FPB 300,it sounded very
good, but for my taste and ears its not musical.Maybe
Krell sounds are not for me.I am not affiliated to Oddyssey.
