Well, after meeting Klaus and listening to his setup and talking to him, I made the plunge and ordered a set of the Stratos Monoblock Extremes at the RMAF. Can't wait to receive them.
Thanks for listening to all my questions and being a great help Klaus. What a great guy. The amps will be mated with a set of Salk HT3's. Ought to sound really great. Only problem, - waiting 4-5 weeks to get them. 
Hey Klaus, how much extra $$ for a rush job?
Just kidding, look forward to receiving the amps.

Hey Steve:
I did the smart thing - I ordered my Extremes a month before the Fest.
I received the nite before I flew to Denver!!
I didn't even have time to hook them up - so imagine how I felt.
However, listening to them I Klaus' room was a revelation.
When I came home I hooked them up before I unpacked my bag.
Wait till you hear these puppies!! To all those that say that all amps sound
the same, please visit me in Toronto and I will watch your jaws drop:
Impressions - out of the freaking Box!!!:
1: Powerful
2: Focused soundstage
3: As musical as I could imagine
4: Sweet!!
5: Generate absolutely no heat - that surprised me.
Anyways, you will be impressed!!
