Is Odyssey Power amp Stratos better than Krell?

Move up to a newer Krell and forget about everything else.

I had a lot of fun reading their booklet that i picked up at
New York show.Reminded me of a Bose infomercial.Here everybody,take a laugh:
"Some class 1 amps (Odyssey ($1100=00),Plinius) are musically natural,with a wonderful neutral balance between the best solid state sound and the best of tube sound.
Class 2 amps(!)(they mean lower class indeed)Levinson 33H,Krell FPB300 are attemping to sound musical but instead they succeed in being veiled and defocussed.
Class 3 (the worst) like Chord and Copland have utterly failed to advance beyond the hopeless artifice of early solid state sound with its obnoxious glare ande glazethat covers and blocks so much of the music."You gotta give them,they got some balls.

cant compare to a krell-all i know is i have a fondness for my odyssey extreme monos-just plain old musical amps,cant keep your toes from tapping type of sound-lots of air guitar also-lol

i have found the odyssey amps sound more musical (less harsh) than the krell's. imo, if you compare amps in the same price category as the krell's (mcintosh, classe, pass, etc...), the krell amps don't sound as musical as these do either.

Overhang,

well, yes, that was a great laugh indeed. For one, thanks for coming by my room at the NYC show, but your comment is very mean spirited, misleading, and incomplete.

Maybe you should have mentioned that you're quoting a review from J. Peter Moncrieff in IAR, International Audio Review, a reviewer for 2 decades with a great reputation, and also a magazine / newsletter, that doesn't take advertising to stay completely neutral in the political arena of this audio industry.
So, yes, thanks for quoting this, because I'm indeed very, very proud of our reviews.

Late,

Klaus @ Odyssey
