I am glad someone has opened a thread about theses amps. First off, has any body wondered how these amps got over 69 postive 5 dot reviews on audioreview. Think about that, 69 reviews all with 5 stars, Hum do I detect a little baiting the ole hook here. I hardley ever see these amps for sale, and to top that, they have not been out long enuff to warrant
that type of feed back. Go to audioreview and look to see what amp has the most reviews and out of those reviews how long has that company been around? Also see if out of over 15 reviews they all earned 5 stars nothen less. Iam sorry people but there are a hell of alot of amps out there and threw all the reviwes someone in the crowd will find fault. If this amp is so great why is it not plasterd on every Audio Magazine cover on the market? I heard these amps (At One Time) were being assyembled in the owner of the companys garage and that the amp is a replica of a French made amp allready on the market. One should really take note of the 69 reviews and ask. where did all these reviewers come from?? "Prehaps the garage that they are being assyembled in" !! (Just A Thought) Iam not knocking the amp in anyway, I am seeing a trail of a company building amps from his garage (from what I was told) and useing someone else's blueprints and gaininng all this posstive feedback, when in fact they were not his or her design to start. We have alot of well known companys here in the U.S. and in other countrys that have slaved their butts off to build a decent product from their own design, And every review, be it postive or negative has been earned. It Just Makes Me Wonder About The Marketing Behind The Odyssey.

This is a free speach America and Forum and theses are my thoughts on this topic
I heard the Odyssey at the Festival Du Son in Montreal and thought it sounded quite nice, espically for the asking price. The designer/owner of the company has been around for a long time and everyone seems to love these amps. Go for it! If you are looking in the $2k area there are some other lucrative options but for less than a grand for a single Stratos I don't think a person can go wrong.

They are supposed to be a fantastic amp. I've recommended them to two friends who purchased them and both had excellent things to say about them.

I've never heard them but you just can't find someone to saying one negative thing about the Stratos.

They're fast, powerful, ergonomic, and the 20 year warranty should make that final decision rather easy.

Not to mention the money saved that can be used for other items.
