Odyssey monoblock thoughts.

About two years ago I purchased a used pair of Kismets that had all.upgrades.I immediately disliked them  as compared to my Rogue Audio M180's. At that time I didn't fully understand the the relationship between output impedance of preamp

Sorry on my last post I hit send on accident. Like I said I didn't fully understand the relationship between output impedance of a preamp vs input I impedance of amps. In retrospect I kinda gave them a bad rap and started some poop on Audio Circle. You live and learn. I am currently extremely happy with my Pass Labs 260.8 monoblocks.
Happy Listening

I bought a Odyssey Stratos Exreem, along with a matching Candela preamp, and all of Odyssey best Cables (IC’s and Speaker)..
I believe Odyssey amps to be a nice entry level Hi-end component..
I bought a Decware preamp/headphone amp (CSP3) , and tried it in place of the Candela preamp.. It sounded so good that the Candela went up for sale, to help fund a Decware Amp... Eventually I replaced the Stratos with a Decware (ZMA)..
Even though the Decware amp’s sound stage is “better” , it is not as strong and will only work with high sensitivity speakers..
The Odyssey amp will play louder, stronger, and it sounds great with my Decware Tube preamp in front of it..

Odyssey kismet monos paid for, just waiting to find time to meet halfway to pick them up.  took me a lot of time saving for these!

 Klaus was so helpful with all my questions, (a lot of them)

 he says he upgraded them, and they are superb! 
I trust his assessment, and am looking forward to them!

It’s been a long time coming for you.  Enjoy them.
