I need opinions on the Odyssey Stratos Extreme mono amps for powering the Dynaudio C-1 Platinum speakers. I have purchases a set based on things I’ve heard.

@dsremer  I will be getting 260.8 monos from Pass Labs or 60.8. The XA 25 is not enough juice. I agree. I will have plebty with monos. I am going to stick with the XP 12 preamp. I’m enjoying all the suggestions and interesting asides on this threa...

I guess ‘the absolute sound’ is not my only goal. I want the music to sound good to my ears. If ‘coloration’ does that then so be it.  These ‘auditions’ you speak of don’t exist. At these audio stores they follow you around like you’re going to st...

I guess it’s a matter of opinion but i have run a Exogal Comet Dac into Parasound JC-1s and felt it was a little leaner than with a preamp. Would this be the same thing? @

@georgehifi  I’ll bite. I’m not a rich guy. What makes you say that these  to preamp’s are comparable?

I think I’m going to buy the new Pass Labs XP 12 preamp. It’s a nice piece. I like continuity and assume synergy with those amps. @georgehifi .

The 60.8 monos are on my short list also. Any comments on these amps are appreciated.

The XP 12 preamp and XA 25 amp are sounding very good but I think a more powerful amp may be in order. I am sold on the XP 12 Preamp. These are in the price range but I am toying with the idea of the 260.8 monos which are quite a bit more.

I have the Dynaudio C-1 Platinums hooked up to a borrowed Pass Labs XP 12 Preamp and Pass Labs XA 25 amp. it sounds great so far but I might try a bit more power in the amp dept. Any opinions or is everyone content to destroy Audiotroy?

I’m not sure why audiotroy gets people so riled up but I have no problem with someone selling their product.

Thank you everyone for a spirited conversation. I follow these forums regularly and enjoy each of you. @keithr What preamp were you using?   Simaudio 700 is an awesome match with the Dynaudio C1 and I should definitely consider it.   @audiotroy se...

Does anyone else like Classe CAM 400 Monos for these speakers? Preamp TBD.
