What's best amp for around $2000.00?

Odyssey has an outstanding line of amps.

Sold directly to the consumer. Kaus, the owner, is a straight-shooter and is noted for his customer servie. The Stratos Monos go for around $2K and are exceptional. His smaller and lower-priced Khartago amps received a very positive review in Absolute Sound.

I don't know but the Musical Fidelity A3CR I have used in my system the last year or so continues to satisfy. It cost me only $600 used on ebay and was a steal.

After a trip to the RMAF, I too will have to go with Odyessey. Went back several times to affirm my original impressions.
Made in the US, built like a tank, and sounded better than some much higher priced offerings. Not bad to look at, also.

Used Rowland 201s are a great choice and have the advantage of small size and low heat.

Hey folks, all the amps he listed in the original post are integrated amps, so as good as the Odysseys are, wrong hammer.
