No I didn't take any however a quick call to Klaus would reveal the entire build for the Kismet Extreme.  There are the standard photos on the Odyssey web site.  These have most notable the stacked power supply and the Black Circuit Boards. If you are seriously considering buying these let me know. I'll consider popping the hood.  The other mod is the power buttons on the front.

Did I mention these are 3.5 years old with a 20 year warranted. The stacked 400v plitrons result in an 800v configuration in each amp. The convenience of the power switch on the front alone is worth a fortune. My knees are shot.

Nice touch with the back of the amps being mirror image! You don't see that everyday. Best of luck!

I am surprised they are not sold !!!

The new owner will be surprised with how clean and quiet they play.

I have one each for my front 3 - Klaus does a bang up job with his amps.

Simply fantastic amps.

SoundO you are so right. They are so detailed and lack any and all grain. The biggest bang for the buck in the High End.
