Amp suggestions

Hi all,

I wanted to get some advice. I am the middle of up grading my system.

Preamp: Rouge 99
CDP: Cary 303
Amp: Odyssey Stratos
Speakers: Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Mk II
Interconnects: Nordost Blue heavens
Speaker wire: Nordost flatline gold (upgrading)

I was thinking of upgrading my amp. I was looking for something with more current that would open up the Dynaudio. Money is an issue so I would probably go used ($2000-$3000). Any suggestions?

On the other hand I guess I could upgrade my speakers. I listen to mostly jazz and some rock/pop.

Hi Xmore:

If you like the Stratos...why don't you get the Stratos mono amps; you have a Stratos already? Remember the conversion of your current amp is free, so you only have to buy one !!!!

If you don't like the Stratos, then a used BAT, Sierra Whitney, or a used Rowland Model 1 or 5.

I had for years a set of Dynaudio Geminis, and I know that those Esotec tweeters are extended therefore, the Stratos monos should match nicely. The monos should provide the power you are looking for.
Good luck.
