New, used, 04/07 Stratos dual mono owner
« on: 17 Dec 2007, 09:46 pm »
I just purchased Carusocar's dual mono (one case) stratos.  It is very nice indeed.

My preamp is a BAT VK-3i and my speakers are Magnepan QR12s with magnetwire cables.

The speakers are less than 4 ohms and the db rating is about 89 or less. 

I have heard that Klaus biases each amp for each customer.  Does that mean each amp is biased based on the output voltage of the preamp and/or sensitivity of the speakers?  If so, I would send the amp to Klaus and let him go to town on it.

Thanks,
Mike

My understanding is that the initial amp purchaser needs to provide system information to Klaus regarding the purchaser's set-up, and Klaus will go from there. Once more, I mention that this is prior to purchase of the amp - it seems that this service may be limited to initial purchase(r).

The above information is readily and easily available on the Odyssey website, for those who want to know more, form the source himself:

"All amplifiers:
   Custom bias for your system prior to purchase. Customer has to provide system information to check feasibility. Free of charge."

Feel free to peruse the Odyssey website prior to making other Odyssey purchases. Another popular option is to call Klaus and discuss things with him; I found he was great to work with when I was entertaining Odyssey purchases, and I'm glad I had discussions with him prior to buying.
