Bemopti123, if you are talking about the basic stereo Odyssey Stratos you have to take into consideration that it is the entry level model and the huge difference in price between it and any Pass amplifier. Even so, it has been well reviewed by experts such as Martin G. Dewulf and J. Peter Moncrieff among others, and I wouldn't say they are dark (I used to own them). The Extreme Monos are a totally different animal and still relatively inexpensive ($2,600 pair) as good amps go.
