I have had both the Odyssey and the Musical Design units on the test bench here and to be candid the Musical Design remains here and the Odyssey has moved on. This is not to disparage the Odyssey, but to my ears and 48 years in this hobby the Musical Design is the better of the two sonically.

It is difficult to find Musical Design power amps. It seems that audiophiles that have them ,keep them. As opposed to the Odyssey that is not hard to find and many are listed on Audiogon.

I wish you well in your search.
If you can find a good used Musical Design D 140 or D 150B,would be an excellent choice to work very well with a tube preamp. Plus John Hillig is always available to answer whatever concerns you may have. These are some of the most musical power amps I have heard.
