Up for your consideration is a gently used pair of Odyssey Stratos SE+ w. Glass ceiling Upgrade. The anodized cases are actually very clean - flash on my cheap camera makes cases look dusty/dirty. No dents, damage, or signs of wear (other than a burned out light on one of the amp faceplate - easy $1.00 fix).
This was the top-of-the-line amp offering from Klaus prior to the introduction of the Kismets. Original price for these were $4,200 - 4,900 upon introduction in 2007.
I know from communicating with Klaus very recently that upgrading these to Kismet status will be around $1,500. I would do this in a heartbeat except that I'm getting out of this hobby. As you may know, NIB Kismet monos now run around $7,300+. Klaus also puts them in Stratos cases for $5,200 - $5,400. So, if you have the funds, the $1,500 upgrade is the way to go. But, they also sound amazing as-is. So, an upgrade is entirely optional.
Price is $2,000.
