Same here. Own the Emotiva xpa-1 1000W monoblocs.
They get smoked by the odyssey kismet amps at 200 W. I use the amps at 4-Ohms for my modded CV D-9 speakers.
The small watt Kismets at maybe 360-375 W at 4 Ohms sound better, smoother, tighter compared to the 1000W emo monos.
Been told better parts, etc. totally believe it!!
They are deeper bass, crunchier mid ranges, highs are not irritating as the emo monos.
Better parts and the sound is more relaxing and accurate.
Is it parts? Or a combo of parts and quality which leads to better sound. ??
im not bashing the emo stuff, the odyssey just has a more relaxed tone, and lets me listen longer.
The emo stuff is saved as backup amps.
