After many amps and much speaker and amp buying and selling, I have arrived at some personal conclusions. Looks like the B&W line is for me. And for many reasons.
I own an Odyssey Stratos and am perfectly happy with it. It powers AR3a speakers. No laughing please. I owned Klipsch KLF20 & Heresy II and the AR3a blew them both away - IMHO. The ARs do disappear leaving you in the concert hall about 20 rows back. A very stunning and comfortable effect. I know there has to be better though so here I am at club B&W.
I really didn't want speaker stands but the praise for the 805 is overwhelming and no one seems to knock them except for lack of deep bass.
Anyone have an opinion on the Odyssey Stratos & 805 marriage?
Is this going to be a big step up from the AR3as and if so what should that difference sound like?
Thanks for any help.
