I will be receiving my Mono's soon, I have spoken to Klaus numerous time and he is indeed a really nice person, very hardworking and customer service...par none. We have also discuss to have a signature series lined up on his current Stratos models and I am happy that he will add his signature on my Mono's.
My question is based on your experience on performance between Odyssey and Rotel. I have found most reviews and especially manufacturers website of Rotel and B&W that they seem to have their products match perfectly like marraige made in heaven. Understanding that B&W speakers are lazy speaker need a lot from an amp to drive and bing out their synergy. Comparison price wise they are identical, power is a close match, but for performance in terms of openess, transparancy and details, would the Odyssey give me more leverage musically.
I have read one article on this string that a pair of Mono's hooked up on a B&W 802 and that is not a fair deal, to get that monster going you need at least 300W of power, I have a friend who owns an audio store and audition the Rotel RMB 1095 cannot even bring out the best.
Apples to apples, oranges to oranges I beleive that the Monos and the Rotel is a perfect match for my B&W's I would like to hear if these amp would give a big diffenece in musical performance
