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.

Do you currently have the Odyssey Stratos with the Monitor Audio Silver 5i? I have the MA's and a Marantz SR7000 recevier but I've been considering buying the stratos to power the speakers for 2-ch music. How does your system sound?

If you get the Stratos spring for the power supply upgrade (why isnt it standard by now?) as it should make a difference with most speakers and will help if you sell it some day. Its not "too much amp", it will sound better than a cheaper amp with your speakers.

if you have "the sickness", like i'm sure most of us here do; then eventually you will upgrade your speakers. You cannot go wrong with the Stratos. It is an exellent amp.
