Odyssey Stratos Power Amp
I've decided to consider selling my Odyssey Stratos 150 wpc power amp (I am buying a McIntosh integrated that pretty much replaces everything else I have been using).
I won't try to describe the amp in detail here, since there is a wealth of information elsewhere on the net. If you are interested, I encourage you to check out audioreview.com for many consumer reviews of this product. It's a fantastic amp whose reputation speaks for itself.
This amp is a real beauty - if you've ever seen pics, they don't really do it justice. This one is the "standard" grayish-black color with a blue illuminated logo faceplate. There are a few light scratches on the back, but overall it looks very nice. Be warned - this thing is big and heavy - be sure to measure your placement area to make sure it fits.
One note: I am the second owner on this. Odyssey offers a one-time-transferable warranty, but since I am the second owner I don't think it would apply again. You would need to discuss this with Odyssey's owner Klaus Bunge. To tell you the truth, I don't think its a big deal, for the following reasons: A. This thing is extremely solidly built; B. The warranty was "parts only"; labor would still be charged at Klaus' standard shop rate; and C. Klaus is so easy to work with and customer-oriented, I would guess that he would give you a good deal anyway.
This amp has the 120,000 uF Reference Cap upgrade. It can be further upgraded to Stratos Extreme Monoblocs or a Dual Monobloc - I've actually talked to Kalus about this, and he reserved a part that would be needed to do it. So, there is a nice upgrade path possible that supposedly makes a significant difference.
If you are interested in this amp, I'd be happy to discuss further. I will sell it for $750, including insured shipping in the U.S. (this is no small thing because of the weight). I'll accept Paypal without a surcharge.
Thanks!
