Comparing Two Pairs of Mono's


The Odyssey Stratos Mono Extreme and the Van Alstine DVA 225 are both priced at $3,400 a pair.

Which pair would you choose, and why?

Thank you for your opinions.

Odyssey does cite their mono blocks are stable with a 2 ohm impedance load.

Not the ones I've seen Charles, he may have a true non bridged monoblocks model I haven't seen yet. They are easy to spot if you see inside.

I had the Karthago and later Kismet monos. I bought the monos after I heard KEF driving their Muons at CAF with them. They are good sounding amps for the price and come with a 20 year warranty. Klaus’s systems generally sound excellent at audio shows. I still have his Kismet speakers. No experience with AVA.
If they are not true mono block amplifiers then again your point is well founded.
Sorry charles you asked , here is a Stratos monoblock bridged. https://ibb.co/VVtFCsq
(misprint the L&R bridging strap is output not input)

Here is the Stratos wired in stereo https://ibb.co/fSShKFn
