Is Odyssey Power amp Stratos better than Krell?

Hi,

Would like to ask you guys about odyssey stratos power amplifier (extreme & monoblock range). Does this amp really good compare to, i.e Krell, plinius?

lots of reviewers gave high rating (audioreview) and they claimed that the sound is better than Krell, Plinius...very transparent, firm bass and imaging.

I'm using Krell KSA80B, are they better for a change?..I Listen to Sting, norah jones, Sarah McLachlan, Radiohead, Coldplay..etc.

Thanks for any inputs

Move up to a newer Krell and forget about everything else.

I had a lot of fun reading their booklet that i picked up at
New York show.Reminded me of a Bose infomercial.Here everybody,take a laugh:
"Some class 1 amps (Odyssey ($1100=00),Plinius) are musically natural,with a wonderful neutral balance between the best solid state sound and the best of tube sound.
Class 2 amps(!)(they mean lower class indeed)Levinson 33H,Krell FPB300 are attemping to sound musical but instead they succeed in being veiled and defocussed.
Class 3 (the worst) like Chord and Copland have utterly failed to advance beyond the hopeless artifice of early solid state sound with its obnoxious glare ande glazethat covers and blocks so much of the music."You gotta give them,they got some balls.
