Is All The Hype About Odyssey True?

I'm in the market for a new amp and I have almost narrowed it down to 3. Musical Fidelity A3CR, Bryston 3BST, and Odyssey Stratos. My budget is $1500 MAX. After reading many reviews, value for money suggests the Statos.I'm replacing an NAD 216 and hope to get something more musical and natural sounding. The rest of my system is: Cambridge Audio D500 CDP., C.A C500 Pre and very efficient floor standing, 3-way speakers,(98db@1watt/1metre 44Hz-20KHz), IXOS Silver Gamma I.C's and MIT terminator 5 speaker cables. Looking forward to any info., advice or recommendations. Thanks in advance.

I agree with Sheadlee , I had several ARC amps and later two Jadis JA80 monoblocks , now I have since two months an Odyssey Stratos (reference 120.000 uF. capacitance) and i can tell you all this amp is a real miracle.
Never thought in my long Hi-Fi life it would have been possible to buy such wonderful sounding amp for 1200 USD!
When i bought it I crossed my fingers and I trusted to many Audio Review good comments about Stratos.
Now I 'll add mine as soon as possible , since what they wrote is completely true.
