Consider the new Bel Canto REF600M monoblocks. They are extraordinarily good at there price point. I have owned the REF600M and the REF1000M. The 600M is a noticeable improvement. Great company btw.
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.
Jerry

Jonas, I know many people have had a good experience with Odyssey Audio. I cannot, nor would not, argue with that. In my own experience, after sending equipment to him twice, it was not fixed and I still had the same problems. I found out later his Tempest preamps has buzzing transformers from people who wrote on his own forum on audiocircle.com. So I had wanted to like and keep the equipment, but Klaus kept telling me it was a problem with my AC, which it was not....clearly after much testing. Ended up selling the gear back to Klaus and at very big $$ loss to me. If it were me, I would get the Bel Canto gear over the Odyssey if that was my two choices. |
What about this classic beast? https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649428780-lae-mccormack-dna-2-amplifier/ |
