Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp

I am downgrading my amp to a smaller size and considering either Odyssey Khartago Stereo Extreme  or the Schitt Audio "Vidar"  Therefore, I need some feedback about which amp might sound better and more compatible with a Conrad Johnson PV-14L SE pre-amp. Also, which one would be more compatible with a variety of speakers

My current speakers are Golden Ear Technology model 7's which might  possibly be replaced by Magneplanar .7 speakers, or something better than the GET 7's.


Thank you,

S.J.

I cannot speak for the Vidar, but I have the Khartago extreme se and am quite happy with it. Unbeatable 20 year warranty. Never a hiccup, and Klaus is is really nice guy......

Wrong. Schiit gear $799 and $699, equalling $1498.

Odyssey Khartago is $999. Go with a new suped up Odyssey SE and STILL be under $1500. Or buy that used Khartago se (the way I'd go) for $999 and get an unbeatable deal in sound for price....

Not saying that George's idea Isn't a dandy, just pointing out (a bit too bluntly now that I read it) his price points are incorrect.

George, by ignoring the question put forth to you a second time, I'm guessing you never made the equipment comparison.

So, no. You've never made a direct equipment comparison.

This thread is about a comparison between the Odyssey Khartago SE and the Schiit Vidar. Nothing else. Not about Odyssey's different model monoblocks and the internals. That is 100 percent irrelevant. Yet you just keep parroting and harping about it. I own the exact Khartago the op asks about. That is relevant. Not your opinion of what he's better off getting when you have made no such comparisons with the equipment you state. But by all means, parrot away....
