stowne, buy my older electrocompaniet aw100 - i'm only asking $800! ;~)

of course, ewe can spend more on one of electrocompaniet's newer offerings - i presently am quite happy w/a pair of aw60ftt's werticially bi-amping my monitors; preamp is a melos tubed unit... electrocompaniet makes great amps, imo. while i've never heard the ayre, from what i've heard folks say about it, i'd hazard a guess that electrocompaniet is closer in sound to that, compared w/the other amps yuve mentioned

i *almost sprung for a pair of the odysseys, but i found my electrocompaniet aw60ftt's at such a good price, i couldn't pass up these $2k retail beauties. and, i was already familiar w/the electro sonic signature.

klaus of odyssey is a pleasure to deal w/, i got a great deal on a symphonic-line re-tipped lyra clavis.

re: getting a pair of the odyssey amps, if yer speeks are bi-ampable, i wood strongly recommend a pair of the stereo amps, instead of the monoblocs - ewe give up little in power, ewe still get to run separate amps for each speaker, and ewe get to bi-amp as well, using the two channels of each amp, one for the woofer, the other for the tweeter. this is how i'm running my aw60's & i couldn't be happier. well, mebbe if i was running a pair of melos mat-180's in this fashion, i mite be happier... ;~)
