How much better of an amp would the Stratos Stereo amp at $1195 compared to my Rotel RB 1080 amp at ruffly the same price about 8 years ago? Been really thinking about the Stratos amp lately.
Thanks.
I would suggest giving Klaus a call.  He's a good guy and has a 30 day trial period.  Depending on where you live, shipping shouldn't be that bad.  I have heard the Stratos several times and it's a very good looking and sounding amp.  Plus, there are lots of upgrades from Odyssey that you could incorporate if you want to upgrade down the road.  It has a great warranty and is very cool looking.  I don't know your model but Rotel makes decent stuff.  In a modest system, I would say the Odyssey Stratos is a noticeable upgrade over Rotel.  
Good luck.
