Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp

This thread is about a comparison between the Odyssey Khartago SE and the Schiit Vidar. Nothing else. Not about Odyssey's different model monoblocks and the internals. That is 100 percent irrelevant. Yet you just keep parroting and harping about it. I own the exact Khartago the op asks about. That is relevant. Not your opinion of what he's better off getting when you have made no such comparisons with the equipment you state. But by all means, parrot away....

Back to the original poster’s questions.  Depending on your room size, the vidar may or may not be powerful enough for the Magnepan .7.  For my 5000cu foot room and 3.5s, it was not enough, but good sounding.  For many Maggie users it is, including Schiit which runs a set of 1.7s off a Vidar at the Schiiter. 

About the engineering d**k measuring contest.  Mike Moffat is a digital guy, just like he has always done going back to Theta.  Jason does the analog designs, just as he used to when he designed amps and preamps for Sumo.  The Vidar was designed by Jason.   

I would like to follow up to this old, ridiculous thread and add to @mcreyn courteous post here and correct the grossly inaccurate comment made earlier by someone saying the Schiit Vidar weighs 13 lbs when in fact, even at it's near half-size stature, it weighs 22 lbs.
