I replaced my Odyssey monoblocks with a single BEL 1001 MkV amp in stereo mode with less than 1/3 the power rating. It absolutely blew the Odyssey out of the water - there really was no comparison whatsoever. The Odyssey was grossly inferior, particularly in the bass. I later upgraded to a pair of BEL 1001 MkV monoblocks with a very good tube preamp and now I don't think about the next upgrade. I'm too busy listening to music.
Who's Replaced Odyssey amps/ Extreme / Klaus
Curious these amps have been hot for years, very good price, very good customer service, and mostly excellent reviews... Whats going over the Top of the line Extreme's? Just wondering cause I am seeing a lot of movement to the Nuforce 9.02's but have heard nuforce and was not that impressed. I am in balance of the 3000.00 price range Myself for some mono blocks... I realize McCormack's 5000.00 amps could be a small step up but whats the Budget Busters in 2006? Anyones experiance very appreciated, even if you bought a used 10,000 Amp to Dethrone them. Thanks
