Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp

I am downgrading my amp to a smaller size and considering either Odyssey Khartago Stereo Extreme  or the Schitt Audio "Vidar"  Therefore, I need some feedback about which amp might sound better and more compatible with a Conrad Johnson PV-14L SE pre-amp. Also, which one would be more compatible with a variety of speakers

My current speakers are Golden Ear Technology model 7's which might  possibly be replaced by Magneplanar .7 speakers, or something better than the GET 7's.


Thank you,

S.J.

I'd wait until you decide what speakers you're going to upgrade to.  Driving Maggies is very different from driving GE Tritons, and they're completely different speakers in both design and sound characteristics.  You'll just end up amp shopping again when you change speakers.

The Odyssey amp will drive either one with ease.

I was running GE Triton Ones with an Odyssey Stereo Extreme amp which was rated at 150 a channel compared to the 130 per channel of the Khartago.  The Odyssey amps are the better buy and you get a 20 year transferrable warranty to boot.  I sold my Odyssey amp when I moved on to McIntosh, but I am VERY sorry I did so.  The Odyssey did a lot of great things right.  Get the Odyssey, you will love it.
