What's your latest "Discovery"
John Reischmann's North of The Border. Excellent acoustic bass, guitar and on-fire Mandolin. Jazzy, bluegrassy and totally balls out playing. A few numbers are incredibly sweet without any syrup. Please do yourselves a favor and grab this great CD. 
Is Odyssey Power amp Stratos better than Krell?
I cannot say much about Krell, as I've never owned any, but the Odyssey Stratos-yes. I owned a pair for a few months. Found them harsh in upper treble and "hummed" in my system. The Odyssey had some awsome attributes- great soundstage, depth, bass...
