Khartago Plus was one of the best value components I have owned. Never any issues.

I purchased my Stereo  Stratos 16yrs ago and it has never failed me. It has been powered on for all this time.
20 year warranty also.

This amp is on my radar as well. These amps are sonic matches for Thiel loudspeakers.

I purchased Stratos monos about 18 years ago and they ran flawlessly until a particular bad power surge that got one of them.  I sent them in to Klaus to be repaired and then he gave me such a great deal on new Kismet monos with upgrades that I went that route and am not sorry.  

I have been driving SoundLab stats almost the entire time and have never regretted the Odyssey amps.   I leave them powered on 24/7.
