| Is Odyssey Power amp Stratos better than Krell? I know nothing about Krell, except hearsay: "detailed", "harsh", "great", "terrible", etc. Will plead ignorance on that. However, I absolutely love my Odyssey Extreme Monoblocks, which replaced my venerable B&K ST140. Wow! I think they are fab... | |
| Help choosing Power Conditioner I got a 10 amp powervar used on ebay for under 50 bucks. Has minimal transformer hum, essentially inaudible at > 3 feet away. (Did NOT purchase from Tvad!). I assume it will protect the front end pieces if lightning strikes, and that was my mai... | |
| best used amp around $2000 for B&W N802s I have Odyssey Extreme Monos and am absolutely delighted with the sound. Really feel as though I stumbled onto a great product, and did purchase used at Audiogon, but seller lived in adjoining city, so able to audition (!). Only quirk is that one ... | |
| Anybody getting Paradigm Studio 100's to image? Oh yes, and as Richmon said, DEFINITELY bi-wire, an instant and immediately noticeable improvement in imaging. Very important point. | |
| Anybody getting Paradigm Studio 100's to image? I have the 100 v3's and they image rather well, especially to the center. It was crucial for my setup to have them positioned juuuuuuuust right, toed in, with the imaginary lines from the drivers meeting at the apex of a triangle about 1 foot behi... | |

| taming studio 100's I have studio 100 V.3's with the Rel Storm 3 sub bass unit and Odyssey Stratos Extreme Monoblocks. At the risk of initiating controversy, I will meekly recommend that you consider trying Dakiom Feedback stabilizers. The crossover in my system was ... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems VSM-MX Speaker Tkheem,Am I reading correctly that you feel these speakers sound and image better than Avanti 3's from Audio Physic? Also, can these be bi-wired? | |
| Review: Audioparts, Inc. Mas Signature Hybrid Speaker cable Ryem,I think these are about $275 new and I paid something like 170 for mine. I don't know how much the other products you mentioned cost. I'm fairly picky and these were certainly (more than!) good enough for me, but others may be less impressed.... | |

The music has greater warmth with no loss in definition. In fact, the definition seems to be improved. It w... |
