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

Hey, George-  Have you actually compared the Odyssey Khartago Extreme to the Schitt combo, or- are you making assumptions?

I have owned an Odyssey Stratos amp, Tempest and Candela preamp and had problems with the gear and very bad service. That was my experience and would not deal with them again. Also got a message from another Audiogon fella who had terrible problems with a deal very recently with Odyssey. I have a Schiit Audio Bifrost Uber DAC and it was really great sounding for the price. I would stay with Schiit or keep looking at other manufacturers.

are you making assumptions?

Have you against the Aegir, I’m just going with more Class-A of the two for the mids and highs, and that’s the Schiit Aegir’s 20watts! And we know Mike Moffat is no fool in Electronic Engineering design, I'd back him over Klaus any day.

Cheers George

So- assumptions, now- to include Klaus(as being a fool, regarding EE design). Have you personally met him? I have(and been to his house, more than once). It’s been my experience; there’s much more to the sound of an amplifier, than just the operational mode. btw: Ever heard of a Germanic audio manufacturer, called, "Symphonic Line"? It was their EEs, that designed the circuitry, Odyssey employs. Please: name their less than competent circuit designers(ie: Rolf Gemein, perhaps?).      http://www.symphonic-line.de/eng/

I believe you are for now trying to put words into my mouth by twisting what I said. I said Mike Moffat is no fool, (not Klaus) I'd back him over Klaus.
  
And yes a friend of mine was to become the Australian agent for Odyssey, got all the range samples, but when lifted the lid I showed him that the monoblocks were just the normal stereo amps bridged with blanked off input and speaker connections on the back, he and others that were on hand were not amused, then sold the samples he had, and didn't re-order again.
