Odyssey Cyclops vs. the Exposure Integrated Amps

I need to get a good integrated amp and I'm not looking to spend a lot of money. The Odyssey Cyclops and the Exposure Integrated Amps are the front runners. I've heard good things about both these amps and they sell at nearly the same price. Any recommendations will help. Which integrated amp is the best bang for the buck around $1500.00?

The one input is a bit of a drawback as I have TV, CD and a phono amp that need inputs. I'm also checking out the Electrocompaniet ECI 4 integrated amplifier as I heard its pretty good too.

There's a Electrocomaniet DCI 4 for sale right now, here on A'gon, used for what you're willing to spend.

Some nice gear comes up every once in a while at your price point. They're scooped up rather quickly so patience and persevere my friend.

All the best,

Yes Nonoise, I looked at that amp and wondered how it would compare to the Odyssey Cyclops and the Exposure Integrated Amps. I read every review I could find on the Electrocompaniet and a few people thought that it was too warm and smooth for Pop and Rock. Any ideas?

I have an exposure 2010s cdp and its great. I assume their amps are just as good. However, I did just purchase a YBA a100 from their new Heritage line. Its fantastic. It drives my Elac floor standers effortlessly. They can be a fussy speaker and like a lot of current. its an integrated amp.
