Monarchy SM70 Pros - Verses - Odyssey Stratos


I am looking to purchase either two of the Monarchy SM70 Pro monblocks or the Odyssey Stratos in the next month. I was wondering anyone has compared these two products. My previous amp was a Krell KSA 200s. I loved the details and sound stage of the Krell. BUT I found that it was physically too big and over-kill (powerful) for my listening style. I have very efficient Snell EIII speakers and a smaller room (14X12) in my new house. I love clear forward details from the highs and mids.

Thanks, Which Company’s amp has a more forward (more micro detailed) presentation? I’ve seen a lot of reviews for the Odyssey and they have said that it is pretty laid-back or relaxed. I recently tried a McIntosh MC162, which the reviews (AR) said was extremely detailed. But with my setup (McIntosh C712 Preamp) it seemed that the mid-range was missing or mellow. Nice to look at, but not for me. The Krell Ksa 200s was 95% satisfying. I’m looking for the Krell sound only in a smaller package.
