How Do Odyssey Amps Stack Up To McCormack Amps.


Are they in the same ballpark or even in the same league. I have heard McCormack and like what I have heard...but have not had a chance to listen to any Odyssey amps. They will be running Vandersteen 2CE Sigs.

p.s. I was looking at the DNA225 in the McCormack line.

Haven't heard the Odyssey's. But I recently modded my DNA .5 to near-Rev A status (myself). It was a dramatic difference over the stock DNA .5 Deluxe. I also upgraded my speaker crossover components (to Sonicraft caps) earlier this year. These 2 mods improved my system tremendously. I really can't imagine it getting any better than this.

Enjoy,

In my system I like the extreme oddyssey monoblock, than
krell fpb 300, than x250 pass lab, than plinius sa 100,
I compare this three amps side by side,To my ears the
extreme are more musical, more natural,bass is more
natural, the pianos are beautiful, voices are like live.
By the way I am using Andra eggleston speakers, sony 9000
es modwright signature ref,with output stage.using siltech
LS 120 gold and silver sp cable,direct to amp the cd has
built in volume control,The extreme are really really
musical, even with the thiel CS 6.My system is capable
telling the diferences mention above,I own the plinius,
Dont forget maybe the oddyssey did match my system well.
Beilieve me this amps can outperform expensive amps.
I found the McCormack 125 to be too cold for my tastes. I was comparing it to my McIntosh MC7100. The McI has great body and soul that the McC can't match. However the McC was a little more forward which was nice and the dynamics seemed a little faster. I kept the McIntosh however and am happy I did. I want to hear the Odessey but haven't in my system yet. I auditioned them and found they sounded great but I don't trust it until I have it in my system. Good luck! Arthur
