How Do Odyssey Amps Stack Up To McCormack Amps.

Are they in the same ballpark or even in the same league. I have heard McCormack and like what I have heard...but have not had a chance to listen to any Odyssey amps. They will be running Vandersteen 2CE Sigs.

p.s. I was looking at the DNA225 in the McCormack line.

No comparison. Go with the monoblock Odyssey amps.

Ditto the above, the Odyssey amp is in a different league.

Has anyone ever compared the two side by side?

I compared the Stratos to the Mccormack DNA-1 and DNA-2. The stratos wasnt even in the same league. The Odyssey product are designed to compete with Adcom and NAD. The Mccormacks are competing with Krell and Mark Levinson. Mccormack is now owned by Conrad Johnson. I thought the DNA225 was considerably more money than the Stratos??

AND... Steve McCormack (now SMCAudio.com) does fantastic mod's of his old equipment (now, he's not trying to reach cost/performance points...but to provide service).

I have a DNA 0.5 Revision A and to my ear, it blows away amps costing 4-5X as much.
