@odysseyaudio I know you tried to help, and that you were willing to service the amp again. I couldn't handle the lifting and shipping costs anymore. The last straw wasn't the buzz in the center channel, it was when there was smoke and a burning smell coming from the amp. That's when I gave up. I know you're not responsible for shipping costs out of warranty. But it was adding up. My issues with lifting the amp are also on me. I was younger and stronger when I bought it. And, IIRC, when I said I had the amp for 12 years, your comment was a long the lines of "wow, 12 years is a long time with no problems", or something to that effect. If my memory has failed me, I apologize, but I remember being surprised by your comment.
Odyssey Audio Kismet Mono Blocks
So, I've been eyeballing some local used Kismet monos. Currently using my Hegel H360 integrated (usually) to power Maggie LRS (also in rotation Snell type D and VA Bach Grands). Sounds pretty good to my ears, but I've always been wanting to try monoblocks. I figure Odyssey might be a good place to start as any. I like what Klaus is doing. Seems like great bang for the buck. His room was one of my favs at Axpona also.
Anybody happen to have any experience comparing Odyssey to Hegel? Or just impressions of Kismet monos in general? How about using monos on Maggies? I'd love to just buy 'em and do a shootout but that won't be happening.
Thanks
