rotel rb1090 or odyssey stratos mono extremes

The mono exremes with a decent tube pre is hard to beat for under 10k.

I was using a Rotel RB 1090 to drive Thiel CS 3.6s and decided to try Stratos Mono Extreme SE's. The improvement was immediately noticeable: more detailed all around and improved bass depth. I sold the Rotel after about a month. Associated equipment: Sony SCD 555es changer, Rotel RC 1090 preamp, Thiel CS3.6, Anti-cables and interconnects. I can't comment on synergy/compatability with other equipment but I'm completely happy with the Monos/Thiel combination. They've been in my system now for 2 months. I'm now saving to buy the Tempest Extreme or new Candela preamp to pit against the Rotel RC 1090.

Mtntracks, I heard Thiel and the Odyssey Extreme Stratos
Monos,It was awsome.My friend borrowed mine that time.
I miss it.If I wont be able to sell my mono, maybe I
will just buy the CS6.

This is a no-brainer; the Odyssey Stratos Mono Exremes are far superior to the Rotel. The Rotel is not even in the same class.
