Hopefully, I'll be adding the Odyssey Stratos to my setup pretty soon. I feel like I should see how they fare with the B&Ws and, if bearable, patiently wait to fund the Quad purchase, or maybe some other speaker. Currently I am trying to wrap my head around the various aspects of the Odyssey Stratos amps. I would prefer to go for the Odyssey Stereo Extreme. Does anyone know exactly what upgrades are done to this model from the regular Stratos through the Stratos Plus. Thanks for all the advice.
Should I upgrade from B&W CDM 7SEs to Quad 22L2s
I have endured my current setup for about a year now. Been in this addiction for about that long. I am driving the B&Ws with a Rotel BB-1080. Source is a CI-Audio VDA-2 fed by a squeezebox, with a Monolithic PA-1 preamp. I am about to upgrade my amp to an Odyssey Stratos Stereo with upgraded caps. Wanted advice as to whether I should change out my speakers for the Quads. Don't know where I can audition the Quads here in Minneapolis, so was hoping to get some input as to the virtues of going ahead with this switch. My main problem the B&Ws is its harsh treble. I am hoping the new amp will smooth it out, but I am pretty pessimistic about that. Will the Quads be less treble heavy, and overall a better speaker. Thanks in advance for all counsel.
