I had an Odyssey Stratos Extreme+++ amp for 6 years. I sold it to buy a Conrad Johnson MF2550 amp and immediately wished I hadn't sold the Odyssey. The amp is based on one of the Symphonic Line amps from Germany which cost 11K+, The Odyssey amp always worked flawlessly, ran cool and gave an excellent presentation to the music. You get a 20 year warranty and they are all hand made, one at a time in Indiana. What is better than that?
Looking for an amp....Opinions about Odyssey or Bel Canto audio anyone?
Hey people,
I'm looking at purchasing a new amp, stereo or possibly monos, and I've read very good reviews regarding Bel Canto, but not much regarding Odyssey audio and their offerings. Anyone with experience with either? I realize I'm comparing vastly different amps, but I need more power than my current class d amp gives me--I think my speakers would really benefit from the higher power. Odyssey amps look nice, but you have to spend a good amount of money to get anything over 180 watts.
I'm open to suggestions, but I was looking at a used pair of Bel Canto REF 1000Ms or a new Odyssey.
Thanks in advance.
