Odyssey Audio Stratos

This phenomenal sounding and reasonably priced 180W monoblock from Klaus
Bunge of Odyssey Audio uses the same circuit as Symphonic Line of
Germany’s $14k RG 11 Mk 4 amplifier (which Bunge also imports). Although
the boards and parts in the Stratos aren’t the same premium-quality you
get from Symphonic Line, and Odyssey’s anodized-aluminum enclosures,
though handsome and well-built, aren’t nearly as deluxe, the sound
remains extraordinary. In direct comparison with the best amplifier JV
has heard—the $65k Soulution 711—the Stratos monoblocks more than held
their own. No, they won’t give you the same levels of speed, resolution,
color, bass authority, and dynamic range that the Swiss amp does, but
they come darn close with truly exceptional resolution in the bottom
octaves. Yes, you can do better than the Stratos monos if you spend a
whole lot more. The question you will ask yourself, once you’ve heard
them, is: “Do I really want to?”
