Odyssey owners chime in

jafant - I had been using a Rotel 1066 in bridged mode for 150 watts X 3 for the front channels of my combo HT and audio system. When I wanted to upgrade (for smoother, less etched treble, mainly), I auditioned the AVA entry level 3-channel amp and the Odyssey HT3 (with cap upgrade) at the same time. No contest, the Odyssey blew away the Rotel and the AVA. This was in 2006.

Kind of new at this here never ending hobby, but started with the Khartago extreme and upgraded to Kismet mono blocks.So, the only amp I can compare it with is the extreme. The monos are Killer. Started with Jbl speakers,upgraded to Kismet monitors,also picked up Nola contenders, and a week ago purchased Gershman sonograms. I will be selling stuff soon. should have chosen crack as the latest addiction, it would have been cheaper. 

I've had a Stratos amp and Tempest preamp since 2000. No problems whatsoever. Klaus was great to deal with. He brought them to our house to audition along with a pair of Symphonic Line speakers. We bought all of it and have had no regrets.

It shall be reborn!!


 I bought a much older pair of stratos, about 3-4 years back, at that time they were already 13-14 years,old, short black off board caps , 4 short onboard caps, red board, with the right speakers, they were amazing, detail, detail, detail!!!!
  Hooked up some old Vegas, d-9’s modded.
would,not keep up, and would clip, and get distortion & not power properly!

 Spring forward to March 20-ish, upgraded to Kismet , and holy wow, power, it’s amazing , AMD at only 200W @ 8 ohm, and 300+W at 4 ohms, control and make my old Vegas kick my butt!

 I’ve since removed my Vegas, for surround problems and other issues.
 Have a pair of old BIC Ventura’s hooked up, these,speakers have never sounded so good.

 4 year old messages here, I know, just wanted to share my rapture in getting my Odyssey amps!!  I’m happy!!

@arcticdeth what preamp are you running with your Odyssey amps?
