Odyssey Amp Overkill ?

Need advice. Is the Odyssey Stratos amp over kill to drive Monitor Audio Siver 5i? Looking for the right amp to use. I'm using a Denon 3300 as my preamp.I've read in different forums , is that you don't drive $1000.00 speakers w/ $1000.00 amp. Is this true and why not? thanks all.

kurt's got it right. you'd be amazed how great $1500/pr. westlake audio monitors sound with $70k worth of boulder electronics. -cfb

Forget about prices, brand names, good or bad reviews, etc... If you like it and it sounds good to you long term, etc... that is ALL that counts. Sean

I second all of the above, esp. Kelly (aka cfb). My personal experience with amps is that "overkill" sounds MUCH better than "under" or "normal kill".

Enjoy!
