Going to the Stratos wouldn't be much of a difference. I'd try the Classe myself. Have you considered using a tube preamp, that may help alot with the music you like. Tube pre's are easy to use as they only require a few tubes every couple of years, no biasing etc. Your 120 Rotel is a decent amp and even with the 200 wpc Classe you're not going to notice much unless you're using up all of your power. The volume difference between the Classe and your Rotel will hardly be noticeable, about 3 db.
Rotel, Odyssey, or Classe with N805's
I am looking for an amplifier to add to my HT/2 ch system. I currently have B&W N805's that are being powered by a Rotel RMB 1075 (120 wpc) and a Rotel 1066 pre/pro and a modded Sony 999es. I listen to vocal Diana Krall, Norah Jones,etc and "adult alternative" John Mayer, Jack Johnson, DMB. I have heard the Rotel with the B&W's. Can anyone give some input on the Odyssey Stratos with B&W, I will using the Rotel as a pre or the Classe CAP151 integrated or CA 200 amp.
Thanks
