I have a Pathos Classic One Mk3 integrated (140w into 4 ohms) now powering Spatial M3 Turbo S's (92db). Several have said that Odyssey products would work well. Any opinions from current or former Odyssey owners?
Gochurchgo, I also have the Candela and fully tricked out Khartago, which I enjoy very much! The Candela/Kismet integrated is on the site, you have to click on ’Kismet Reference’ in products and it will come up. Check it out, would love to get one....
@thecarpathianThe Candela is fantastic, as is my Khartago! As far as I know the Cyclops is just a stripped back Tempest mated to a Khartago which sounds good but has only a single input. If there's anything outside of that its not on the site and nothing I have seen mentioned.
Gochurchgo, Odyssey has been making the excellent Candela hybrid preamp for years, as well as a hybrid integrated which consists of the Candela and Kismet amp in a single case. Guys, I would not presume to opine unless I actually heard both integrateds. Have you?
Odyssey only has the Cyclops which has only a single input curiously.
Personslly, I’m an Odyssey fan but if you’re set on an integrated you can do better elsewhere. I’d like to see Klaus build one but I think his bread and butter market is separated.
The Pathos is better than the Odyssey, why do you want to go backwards? I owned an Odyssey Stratos and as good as it was, there is much better like Pathos. I heard a Pathos at Adirondack Audio and thought it sounded quite special.
