35W IS THE POWER CONSUMPTION. NOT!!!! THE CLASS-A PER CHANNEL !!!
The Stratos at 150w would be lucky to have 2w of Class-A per channel with 35w idle power consumption
Joan Armatrading, I listened the the track just yesterday "Save Me"
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.
This is a laugh, rodman99999 you need to look at things better, and try to understand them. I just had a look at the site. 35W IS THE POWER CONSUMPTION. NOT!!!! THE CLASS-A PER CHANNEL !!!

Those figures were the result of bench-testing, in one of Odyssey’s many favorable reviews, NOT the idle currents of the amps. Perhaps ’The Audiophile Voice’, that mentioned the Stratus’ figures in their review as well, read something incorrectly(not that I give them that much credence)? Had you looked at the reference I provided earlier; that’s Rolf’s philosophy(more and better heatsinking for increased Class A capabilities). YES; I know you don’t care(about anything but your own opinions). I’ll leave the ubiquitous last word, to you(seems you need the validation). |
@georgehifi - Thinking about it; I’ve been challenging you, regarding personal experience and assumptions. The specs that I quoted, were from one article, then repeated in another, neither author of with whom I’ve had any personal contact/experience. The figures were not obtained on my test bench, or- in my presence. In that confabulation(brainfart, basically); I got the, "ASS" part of, "assumptions", to a tee. My bad and my last word(MMMM, crow, yummy)! |
Your are incorrect and delusional Read 35w idle draw at the bottom of the specs http://www.odysseyaudio.com/products-stratos-mono.html And as I explained, no chance in the world 35w Class-A per channel from a 150w a/b amps with those heatsinks, never ever!! |
