Nice:)

[Early B.]

Sweet.

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

I am so lucid...

I can't even explain how STUPID GOOD of a deal I got...

Christ...

Klaus is THE man. Dudes, seriously - all brand bias or whatever aside. If you want a great product at a great price with great people.

Klaus, Odyssey, whatever - he's your guy. Owner for life = right here. Just, WOW.

[Early B.]

When are the monos scheduled to arrive?

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

Sometime next month.

AHHHHHHHHHH - Anyone want to go run a mile or two? I'm stoked.

[engtaz]

Sweet, congrats

[Fireman32]

Awsome Trey look foward to your review of them.

[george daniel]

Careful with those amps Eugene :) :)

Are they Ex's or SE's

[Ricardo]

Nice grab; be careful though.......you are getting to a point where you won't NEED to change/upgrade anything in your system...no more saving, no more shopping, no more waiting for the UPS truck, no more finding what the new piece brings to your rig......you'll miss all that ;)

[Yashu]

That is when you "accidently" spill some soda on your DAC or something... or "forget" to have your stuff plugged into a surge protector during a lightning storm.

HAHA.... What? LOL

No I wont! LOL

Thanks guys! :)

Also, as far as I know - they are just extremes, not SE.

Granted, I thought I was just getting STANDARD Stratos mono blocks - so... LOL, i don't exactly know what is going on.

Ditto and I hate you:p

[zombie boy 2000]

Holy effin' moly Sid! Details... details. What does Klaus pack into those things?

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

Two plithron(sp) transformers... (weighs about 18 pounds)

12 15,000 UF Capacitors -

Red Board

Groneberg wiring

Stable to 1 ohm. An absolute powerhouse.

[zombie boy 2000]

My lights flickered just reading your post.

[george daniel]

Trey,, you had better check your local ordinances,, last I heard,the mono ex's were outlawed in North Carolina :D
I think that the Odyssey--Tyler matchup will prove to be a good one,, I know that mine are,,,enjoy :)

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

I might have to call the power company ahead of time...

4 transformers, 24 capacitors...

Wooo

[steveinaz]

Pretty soon you wont even talk to us anymore...LOL

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

Thanks guys.

I am really looking forward to their arrival.

I'm not going anywhere, alot of the gear I have is still meager compared to others here.

Its like I tell everyone else that asks me about my stereo. If no one knew I had it, it wouldn't bother me one bit. I just like to listen to music -----

However, I do like to share my excitement with people that have similar interest.

Now I just need to build a stand to raise my TV up.

:)

[engtaz]

You sure your really not a dog trainer because evertime your bring something up new you get us drooling about your new toys. LOL

great Xbox video.

[Shizelbs]

Are they THX certified?

[engtaz]

who cares LOL their pretty

[rskarvan]

Those look great Trey. But remember, there is still room to upgrade. Even Klaus acknowledges that Krell does some things that are better than the Stratos.

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

Yeah...

But I can't talk to the owner of Krell - and the owner of Krell dosn't personally hand make his amps for me, and dosnt ingrave my name on the back either.

So as far as I am concerned... Klaus and Odyssey have a few notches above Krell. :)

Haha, thanks guys.

[Bill Ayotte]

The cool factor in that alone is a million times better than owning a Krell...

[rskarvan]

Klaus has one very good thing going for him... He lives & works in/near Indianapolis (local). I do agree that Klaus is very cool!

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

I cant even explain to you how amazing the customer service/interaction is with Klaus. He is willing to go 100 miles and beyond for the customer... willing to sacrifice profit and personal gain to make sure you are happy and his loyal customers get the best of the best for their bottom dollar.

Brand bias aside - I have never in my life, seen someone willing to sacrifice monetary gain to make sure you get the absolute best piece for your money.

Used prices for new gear is insane.

[Bill Ayotte]

that is crazy man....I wish I had something like that going.......

[GV#27]

It sounds like Klaus and his company are great to deal with.I work in the Audio industry and know how very important this kind of customer service is to a buisness.

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

Not only that - but he offers free check ups on his products...

20 year warranty for parts...

Can trade up at any time just about...

Just... crazy stuff man. Rediculously good company to deal with.

[ohskigod]

sounds like Klaus is a good man to throw money at. good on ya brotha

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

Ship out July 30th Klaus says! :):):):):):):):):):)

[W WALDECKER]

Ship out July 30th Klaus says! :):):):):):):):):):)Sid , knowing Klaus he might just suprise you even more by sending you a pair of Mono Extreme SE's.:cool:

[dudeinaroom]

OUCH!!!! Why did you have to post that pic, my winky jumped so fast it hit the bottom of my keyboard tray. Nice score.

[TroyD]

I'm looking at the pic....where do the tubes go?

BDT

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

In my preamp! ;) & CDP!

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

Oh my...

I can feel it! This is where my rig comes to an end...

I ordered a 6 ft pair of Analog 2 for my CDP so I can get rid of the ratshackers on the CDP now...

After I get the amps... only thing left to get will be two more panels for the rear corners...

And aside from maybe getting another pair of speakers later on to dick around with, not get rid of the Tylers... I am pretty much content...

The subwoofer setup I have now tickles me to death now that I know how to utilize it... the speakers are phenominal...

Just wow... I'm impressed.

1.5 weeks? woo hoo

[phuz]

Your rig will never be done ;)

I sure would like to hear it though.

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

Now I never said it was done... ;)

I said my "reference rig" is done! ;)

Before it is over...

I would like to have a system like this...

Mains - Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Super Towers
Center - Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Center
Surrounds - Tyler Acoustics Taylo 7u
Subwoofers - VMPS Larger w/ Megawoofers (2)
LFE Subwoofer - SVS (Dual Driver)
Main Amps - Odyssey Audio Stratos Extreme Monos
Surround Amp - Odyssey Audio Stratos Stereo
Center Amp - Odyssey Audio Stratos Stereo
Subwoofer Amp - Crown XTi4000
2 Ch Preamp - Odyssey Candela
HT Preamp - No Clue
CDP - Shanling CDT100A, or something along those lines

But I am tickled to death with my current setup, and I feel I can definitely grow with it and build around it... over time (many years...in a larger area!)

Although probally will upgrade my XTi1000 for the XTi4000 and add another VMPS sub sometime in 2008 to top off the 2 ch rig.

No real hurry...

[ben62670]

Does he have a website?

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

Klaus?

Not a very good one - but he has one.

www.odysseyaudio.com

Its better to call him though.

He has several products that arnt on the website.

Estian, Candela, Khartago, Cyclops and a whole new speakers line and a line of cables - just to name a few.

[ben62670]

I got too excited to search, but I found it!
Thanks Sid!

Edit: They look so nice they give me goose bumps!

Edit: Edit: For the price they are I would love to have a pair of extremes for my custom SDA's. If they sound as good as they look I would really like to set a goal on getting a pair of Extremes. I love the way he describes the currant on them "Much more than adequate", and yours are capable of producing a mind boggling 120 amps! I realize that is more than necessary, but it reflects build quality, and ability to handle a large load without breaking a sweat. Can you say 100amp Sub Panel? I can!

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

This isnt his site - but it has alot more of his products and updated info...
