Odyssey Kismet Monoblocks that I just received from Klaus 2 weeks ago. So this Kismet has the latest and greatest update/upgrades July 2021 version!
Just spent $2000 doing all the upgrades (latest Kismet Black board, reference caps, 850va gen2 transformer+ WBT next-gen RCA/Speaker terminals) and it took 5months of waiting due to Covid parts shortage.
During the wait, I got impatient and bought tube monoblock amps but really wish I could keep the Odyssey's because they are just awesome!
These are better than Parasound JC1 I had before. Smooth, holographic with tons of bass + control. I'm probably going to regret this sale but I can't afford to keep both amps.
Klaus tells me these are $7800 new so get mine at a fraction of the price that just came back with full upgrades!
Odyssey amps has been getting the Absolute Sound editor's choice awards every year since 2008!! In addition, the Kismets made it into part time audiphile's best amps list.

As for physical condition, during the upgrade and I'm guessing due to many months of storage, the amp got a few scratches here and there but the faceplate is clean! just the top corner which I tried to touch up and you can't see it when placed on the shelf.

Btw, these are HEAVY 75lbs each!

$3750 - Prefer local sale in Norcal. I may be able to deliver Socal next weekend as well.
