Odyssey Kismet Reference series.


To anyone who has listened extensively to the Odyssey Kismet Reference series of amps, etc - how does the sound fair in comparison to a regular Stratos or the like?

I had issues with the products and finally moved on to Modwright to distance myself from them. I believe he is just too busy to do the quality control that is supposed to be done. Many people (obviously) have had good experiences with him.
Yes, Klaus does ask you to measure your voltage and sets the amps to your voltage, but he also sets current bias to your speakers. The range for that is 18-28 millivolts. I owned them for 3 years and glad they’re gone.
I am running a pair of Moabs with a Kismet in Khartago case. I really like it, but as mentioned above, it is bright. Makes me wish I had not gone with the Be tweeter upgrade. 

I have developed a fairly significant sensitivity to sibilance :( and the brightness doesn't help... 
Still debating if I am going to try to go a different direction. 
I have a very upgraded, but not Kismet Khartago amp and unless I can afford Pass this thing stays. I f’ing love it.

after 3.5 years something went bad. We trouble shot something’s over the phone. Sent back to him and he basically rebuilt the amp. It’s back and doing it’s thing. I love it.

   Yes, after a 15 year wait or something like that, maybe longer, I purchased a old pair of stratos, which I did use for a while, the modded Vega D-9s’ did drain the amps quickly,  called Klaus, and said I’m ready, and he drove to my home after an audio show one evening, I paid, and we loaded the AMPs in his SUV,......

  A WHILE LATER, we spoke, they were ready, we met almost halfway, helped me load amps in our car. Plugged in,  test cd, played for about 2 weeks, after that, I would sit and listen, and decided to listen every 5 or so days. 
 After about playing program for 8- 10 weeks, 
amps sounded great. I’m happy w them. 
  Took me a long time to afford these amps, and I’m so happy with them. 
    Or a fanboy, just a customer enjoying good music.
