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.

To mtbrider:  Thanks for the heads up; I did see the listing on TMR. I just need to check out the authenticity of the model from the serial number and possibly talk to Klaus about the difference between standard Khartago and the Extreme version.


yogiboy, Thanks for the recommendation and the link. I will check it out

I have the Van Alstine Vision SET 120, and it's a great match with the 93db 12 ohm Spatial Audio M3 Triode Masters. I don't think it would mate as well with Magnepans. The Odyssey would be a good choice.

@stereo5 tell me about running the tritons with odyssey amps? I’m interested in The 2+ and I’ve read the tritons can sound bland with some amps and super dynamic with others.

I'm genuinely curious.

@gochurchgo...…………...

I ran the Odyssey amp with the following GE Triton speakers: I used the Triton Two’s, Triton Ones, and Triton References. The sound was always GE house sound with various subtlety’s. The amp sounded great on all 3 speakers, nothing cold, sterile, bland, or bright about it. I was very happy with all 3 incarnations and to be honest , if my wife hadn’t bugged me about the growing pile of unsold equipment in my office that I was supposed to sell to recoup some money, I would have kept it. It was/is that good. The power was effortless, bass deep and impactful, midrange was ever so slightly on the warm side and treble was clean and clear but never, ever bright.
