Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it?


Is the Khartargo or the Stratos worth it??

@2psyop  I’m really sorry you had such a bad experience and that sucks, but you’re literally the only one I’ve ever heard mention reliability problems with any Odyssey products so it does not seem to be a widespread or common problem.  If it was I’m sure we’d know about it by now after all these years. 

I still have my 22 y/o Stratos+ driving Dynaudio 82s and it has never skipped a beat. Great amps for the money and you can talk to Klaus when you need to.

Odyssey also offer numerous upgrade options on each model, as well as customizing to meet your requirements...mine were totally reliable over a number of years...

I have to disagree with you again... sorry man. If you go to audiocircle.com and go through his own Odyssey Audio thread you will find all the problems. Has he gotten new suppliers for his transformers? Who knows.

For all here who did not have any issues with the gear, I am happy you had a great experience. I am telling you about my experience and my opinion which is what the OP is asking. Again, I am happy for anyone who has trouble free equipment regardless of who made it. That was not my experience.

Not to bad mouth Odyssey, but I had a few problems and finally decided to just wash my hands with the brand. The Kismet mono blocks were excellent amps, but other issues were there that I could not overlook.
