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.

@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!! |

Alon Wolf also appears to use a QSC GX3 pro power amp and so do I (cost around 200 bucks new), although mine is occasionally pressed into service for live concert monitor duties. Not sure what Alon uses his for (saw a pic of it from a Magico shop tour article), but my wife uses mine as a footstool under her home office desk (the amp lives in a small road case). Alon also uses "red book" CDs for demos, etc., so we have that in common also. Me and Alon...nearly the same person... |
