Vincent vs. Odyssey vs.? Power amp advice

Hi all,
Looking for some advice. System includes Peachtree Nova fed by an Apple TV (lossless files). REL T3 sub and Maggie 1.6s. I want to bring in a suitable power amp and am trying to do it for $1200 or less. Short list is the Vincent 331 and Odyssey ( basic Stratos or upg. Khartago). Music is all over the place but not much orchestral/classical. Mostly old jazz and current alternative/ folk. Lots of vocals. I really want to get the most out of the speakers on a limited budget (don't we all)

Thanks in advance. I appreciate the help!

1200 will by a nice version of the Stratos used (as will 800): Transferable 20 year warranty. Made in the USA. Owner available by phone. Lots of upgrade options. Sounds good.

Don't know the Vincent. How does it fare on the above list?

If you go Odyssey, not a huge pressure to buy new: Klaus graciously supports his amps purchased used, and the reputed long break-in period means there might be initial advantage in SQ, going that way.
