| Just ordered Odyssey Stratos Extreme I bought my McIntosh MC152 150wpc amp for $2900.00 used. It is still a current piece in their line. That isn't much more expensive than the Kismet amp. | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 Don't forget, it isn't just the sum of all the parts in the amp, you also pay dearly for the R & D that went into it as well. | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers Give me some kind of paper woofer and a silk dome tweeter any day. | |

| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls @ieales...……………………………"As far as "seriously missing out", it's true. Without tone controls we're missing: - detail loss and masking - frequency dependent channel balance - non-linear frequency response - phase shift"If the tone controls are designe... | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls Tone controls is what drew me to McIntosh. I am much happier now that I am able to make some of the unlistenable Rock CD's listenable again by using a light hand on the tone controls. For those that do not have them, you are seriously missing out. | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 I think the amp is quite impressive and he will probably sell 50-100 of them. There is a lot of money overseas which is where most of them probably are going. The amplifier puts out 400 amps!! Good for Dan. I hope he makes millions from it ... | |
| Just ordered Odyssey Stratos Extreme @simao...……………..I didn’t go back to Odyssey because I had upgraded my secondary system to McIntosh and loved the sound so much that I went with McIntosh for the main system. Like Klaus of Odyssey always said. "synergy is everything".Had I not trie... | |
| Just ordered Odyssey Stratos Extreme @dishman442...……………………….I used the Stratos Extreme from 2010 to 2017. I am very sorry I sold it. Stupidly, I thought I needed more power for the new speakers I purchased last Summer, so I sold the amp and bought a Conrad-Johnson MF2550 250wpc a... | |
| To VPI TT users, please provide your experience I believe the black belt goes for around $30.00 and can be purchased from Music Direct. | |
| Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price... I am buying mine strictly for playing Blu-Ray discs. I have an Esoteric SACD player already in my system. It's probably overkill for just playing Blu-Ray, especially since it will be playing through a Zvox. | |
| McIntosh MC611and MC1.25KW-how do they sound compared to 601's and 1.2KW Looking forward to reading your review. | |
| Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price... I got the same message and just validated my email. | |
| McIntosh MC611and MC1.25KW-how do they sound compared to 601's and 1.2KW I reached out to Ivan but haven't heard back. Why not talk to Mike at Audio Classics and see what he says? He is extremely honest and would never steer you wrong. An example, I have a MC152 power amp and was going to go up to an older 250wpc po... | |
| Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price... Anyone selling a cheap 1295 player for 2700 is a price gouger. This particular ad has been posted before and so far, no bites. I sent the guy a message 2 weeks ago when I saw it posted and he claimed he was a saint as they are selling for more o... |
