Where to go from Odyseey Stratos monoblocks

I own a Meridian 508-20, a VK3i pre, and Mirage M3 speakers. The stratos monos have been realy nice, BUT I amlooking for: more power, greater refinement, more dynamic sound. I like the musicality of the cdp & pre I have and the range of the speakers. I simply want MORE of these things and a little more dynamics as the Mirages can be a load for an amp. I am considering Krell, Plinius, Pass, and Levinson. Any advise from previos owners would help. Thanks

You might consider a McCormack DNA-2 Rev A. If you are not familiar with this amp, check out smcaudio.com.

talk to klaus about the extreme mono upgrade.i got mine about a month ago, they replaced a 350wpc amp(carver pm- 350)they have more bass and a lot more oomph-but still have great detail.or have klause set you up with symphonic amps.

Try the PS Audio HCA-2. No more powerful, at least on paper, but definately more refined, resolving, dynamic, much more harmonically rich, esquisitly detailed yet smooth and offering a bigger soundstage, overall simply more exciting and fun to listen to. You could even try biamping with 2 of them, and definately use a Lab II pc with them as well, saddly, it's not optional....
