Anyone heard the Odyssey monos vs Plinius amps?

I own an SA-250 MK IV, but have been hearing such great things about these Odyssey mono blocks. I'd love to switch to monos, but I favor the warmth, bottom end authority, and the dimensional characteristics of the Plinius, especially the depth of the soundstage. Will I sacrifice these qualities by moving to the Stratos monos? Will they even hold a candle to the Plinius or am I just dreaming?
Thanks in advance.

Dannylw,

How many hours were on the PS HCA-2?

What power cord was used with it?

The HCA-2 changes dramatically during break-in and doesn't really sing until 200 hours. It is also very power cord dependent.

If you heard the HCA-2 with less than 200 hours and with less than a really good power cord, you haven't heard the HCA-2.
