Just ordered Odyssey Stratos Extreme

Yesterday I took the plunge and ordered a Odyssey Stratos Extreme+++ with upgraded binding posts, wire and input jacks. This is the first time I have bought something sight unheard and unseen. I was all excited until I was told there is a 6-10 week wait:(

I am really excited about how this will integrate into the rest of my system. I would love to hear from others who have a Stratos amp. And now the long wait begins...........

FWIW, I have great synergy with a McIntosh C220 preamp and my Odyssey Stratos HT3, now with the left-right channels upgraded to full Kismet status.  Nothing wrong with McIntosh amps, but they are above my pay grade.

@stereo5 - Not the way I did it!  I got a one-off HT3 after speaking with Klaus at a Stereophile show in 2006.  When it failed last year, I sent it in for repair and upgraded the right and left channels to full Kismet status.  So, yes, if I was buying a new amp, the MC152 used would be worth considering.  But I split the cost in two over 12 years.  Although, my back is telling me that my next amp will be Class D.
