Odyssey Kismet Mono Block Amplifiers, Mint SOLD
« on: 22 Jan 2016, 03:13 pm »
Odyssey Kismet mono block amps in mint condition. Less than 3 years old.  I am the 2nd owner but they have been used sparingly as I have not had the time to listen very often.  I have original power cords, manual / book, test / calibration CD, boxes, and packaging.

These are top of the line. These were built in Khartago cases to save on footprint/size and price. As such, list price is $5,000. The Kismets sounded marvelous on my speakers.

As with all Odyssey gear, it is 100 % hand made in the USA. 23 hours + to complete each amplifier, this is indeed the result of a labor of love.

The only reason for the sale is I have decided to downsize to a Wells Audio integrated amp.

Price:  $2,495
Location:  NE Ohio


Buyer pays shipping and paypal fees.

Below are the specs for the Kismets:
 
-Class A for the first 10+ Watts, then AB
-1 x 200W + 1 x 200W / 8 Ω
-240,000µF memory (each)
-Signature Line Reference caps
-WBT RCA connectors and Topline posts

Just wanted to give a bump to a phenomenal pair of amps. Looking at the pic with the cover off they look identical to mine save for I have twice the caps and ps. I had posted mine for sale just before rklein here cause I too was going to downsize but I think I'm going to keep mine because they are just too good.

Articulation of the bass, holographic sound stage while being smooth and delicate. The fact you can adjust the bias if you prefer a more warmer lush presentation or highly detailed one is a nice feature. I haven't adjusted mine yet but may after I move. They respond to power cables and fuses if you like to tweak and at the price these are going for you can have one hellava pair of mono amps.

Anyways, good luck with the sale!

I hear ya Tom!

I too am having "Seller's remorse".  Once I get my new DAC in house and if I don't sell these puppies before then, I will do an A/B test with the Wells Audio Integrated I just bought and pick the winner.  I want to downsize but............

Thanks for the plug. :thumb:

Regards,

Randy
