Switched from well known Amp to Odyssey


Has any own swtched from a well know hi-end amp, such as Krell, Levinson, Rowland, Plinius to the Odyssey Stratos amp? The reviews seem to be overwhelmingly positive for the price relative to other amps. I believe its possible but I just wanted input from owners who made the switch and why? Is it reminiscent of any previously owned amp or unique?

I've had several different Audio Research amps, and last year switched to the Odyssey mono's. They simply 'blew-away' the AR amps (both tube and ss). The build quality is amazing, as well. I have begun to feel that other high-end companies are not delivering a reasonable 'audio/audible' return on investment...unless you are looking for snob appeal value. Me...I'd rather spend less money, and have as good (if not better) sound/musical quality...then there's money left for more toys or more music. Thanks Odyssey!, for bringing such sane pricing to high-end audio.
