Choice: ATI 3000 or ODYSSEY STRATOS PLUS ?


Hello.
I just upgraded my speakers to Focal Chorus 836 .
I need to upgrade my amplifier.
With my budget, and I want to buy new , I am looking at ATI 3000 or Odyssey Stratos extreme.
I am looking for advice or insight on these amplifiers. The system is in a fairly big room, so the thought is I need some power.
The budget is 3500 dollars . It has to be build in America.
Comments and insights appreciated.
Thanks.

I have a Stratos  stereo Extreme+++ amplifier with all the bells and whistles including the Kismet circuit boards and the Symphonic Line Capacitors.  I have had this plugged in to my main system since 2011 and since then, I have upgraded all of my other components but the amp.  Trust me, it's that good.  Sure, if you want to spend 5-10 grand, there is better but not that much better.


My amp is driving Golden Ear Triton Ones and with my all tube preamp, it's a match made in Heaven.  My Stratos extreme+++ which cost me 2200.00 back in 2011 replaced a 3000.00 Classe' Amp which had more power.  The Odyssey amp walked all over the Classe' and ate it for breakfast.
