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

@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.

Thanks @stereo5 
not sure if I want to go
floor standers but when googling the
Tritons Keep coming up given the music I listen to. 

sunnyjim OP
speakers are Golden Ear Technology model 7’s which might possibly be replaced by Magneplanar .7 speakers, or something better

If you get speakers that are bi-amp’able, I would go these two amps horizontally bi-amped, still cheaper than one Odyssey.
A Schiit Vidar on the bass of both, and the new Class-A Schiit Aegir, for the mids and highs. This should be a killer amp setup for bi-amp’able speakers.

Wrong. Schiit gear $799 and $699, equalling $1498.

Odyssey Khartago is $999. Go with a new suped up Odyssey SE and STILL be under $1500. Or buy that used Khartago se (the way I'd go) for $999 and get an unbeatable deal in sound for price....

To embrace what georgehifi was saying, you can get a pair of Nuforce STA 200’s at $499 each and, passively, vertically biamp the 7s. Most people are clueless to a configuration like this, but it is quite amazing. I am using the exact set up on a 3rd system, with a pair of older Signet towers I own since new, and it portrays excellence in sq. BTW, the Triton 7s, with the newer midbass drivers, are an excellent for the money speaker. BTW, the Nuforce STA 200 is very high gain, and likely will not work with the CJ preamp. My advice....get rid of the CJ and go passive ! Detail galore ! Ask georgehifi about that. YMMV. Enjoy ! MrD.
