although I am not familiar with the Monitor Audio Siver 5i's, I do own an Odyssey Stratus and have found it vastly superior to anything that I have yet used for an amp. Putting $$ towards quality electronics can make even relatively low priced monitors perform beyond your expectations. Not only that, when (if) you decide to upgrade your speakers, your amp is already up to the task. With a 14 day free trial, you have nothing but the shipping cost to lose. I am not aware of anyone who has not been thrilled enough with this amp to ever ask for a refund.
Odyssey Amp Overkill ?
Need advice. Is the Odyssey Stratos amp over kill to drive Monitor Audio Siver 5i? Looking for the right amp to use. I'm using a Denon 3300 as my preamp.I've read in different forums , is that you don't drive $1000.00 speakers w/ $1000.00 amp. Is this true and why not? thanks all.
