Hello Luynes,
I can only comment on the Odyssey Stratos Extreme Mono blocks. I have had these running since May 2006 and have no problem giving them my highest recomendation.
I have run them with and in the following configurations:
A) Through a NAD 1700 monitor series S/State pre-amp. Not bad, quite listenable and enjoyable.
B) Through a SF Line 2SE+ tube pre-amp. Very sweet and musical, nice step up from the NAD.
C) Direct out from my Cary CDP into the amplifiers. WOW! absilutely wonderful, this is where the Odsyssey amps really showcased their abilities. If I didn't have to accommodate multiple sources I would run in this configuration all the time ... WITHOUT QUESTION!
Here is a list of the equipment currently in use:
Power Amps: Odyssey Mono Extremes (mono blocks)
Pre-amp: Sonic Frontiers Line 2SE+ (Tweeked pre-amp)
CDP: Cary CD-308 (solid state)
CDP: Sony SCD-333ES changer
DVD: Toshiba SD-3950
Speakers: Paradigm Reference Studio 60v2
Hope this helps and good luck in your quest.
