Tired wiating - good Bryston/what else to get?
I second the Odyssey Stratos. You will not beat it for the money(IMHO). 
BAT VK-200 or Odyssey Stratos for Magiess 1.6s?
If you can afford $1800.00, the Odyssey Stratos Dual-Mono (2 monoblocks in 1 chassis)is the way to go. This high current amp will make those Maggies sing like they never have before. 
Best Dark Sounding Amp For Bright Speakers?
This is what I did. Cal Labs CLD-10 > EVS Millennium DAC II > Odyssey Tempest Preamp > Odyssey Stratos Monoblocks > Infinity Kappa 9's. I/C's and speaker wire are Groneburg Quatro Ref. Digital cable is Bolder Cable w/Eichmann bullet pl... 
Does the amp wattage make a big difference?
I have a pair of Kappa 9's and they are powered by a pair of Odyssey Stratos Monoblocks. High current is what makes them sing. 
Tice Audio Speaker, IC's & Power Cords Any Good ?
I second the TPC Powercords by Orlando on this site under power cords. These cords are just awesome. They will make your amp sound like you installed a bigger transformer. 
Power cable question.
Do a search on this site under power cables for an ad titled "Custom Made TPC-REFERENCE Power Cord-6 Ft" This is an outstanding power cable.

odyssey amp's how do they compare to others
I've had my Odyssey Stratos Monoblocks for about a year now. They replaced an Onkyo M-508 and an Onkyo M-504. I think they sound fantastic. Made my system sound so much more detailed and musical than it did. In the past 5 months I've also purchase... 
Power Amps and Power Conditioners, Do you plug in?
I would listen to it with your amp plugged in to the conditioner for about 2 weeks. Then unplugged the amp from the conditioner and plug the amp into the wall and listen to it and see which you prefer. 
Which CD Player /DAC From The Following...
I had a Sony CDP-CA8ES and upgraded to a Cal Labs CLD-10. One of the best upgrades I ever made!! I also upgraded to an EVS Millennium II DAC. It makes music sound REAL!! 
DAC recommendations
I have a Cal Labs CLD-10 paired with an EVS Millennium DAC II. Very dynamic, very revealing. Makes music sound REAL. 
Good SS amp for VR-4 and GFP-750
Odyssey Stratos Monoblocks. Very musical, detailed and produces a very wide sound stage. They can also drive a 1 ohm load. 
Odyssey to drive B W 801 III ?????
I use a pair of Odyssey Stratos Monoblocks to drive a pair of Infinity Kappa 9's. No problems whatsoever. The Kappa's never sounded so good. Give Klaus a call. He is a very honest man.
