FS: Odyssey Audio Stratos Extreme Stereo Amplifier

Will post more pics soon.
I would rate this 7/10 give or take. No real major marks, but enough minor ones to rate it conservatively. Not even sure I could photograph it, but on the edges you can see some marks and such. Any distance over 18" the amp looks very very good.
Dual transformers, loads of storage. A true beast of an amplifier. Stable to 2 ohms.
Not quite a Kismet, but close! :-)

Thanks, @verb. Looking forward to hearing this amp in my system. Still interested in your take on the McCormack.

So Trey, Jim, James not Tom with all the upgrades is this still considered 150wpc?
Nice Jeff wish I was closer to come get my ears on it. -
I believe the extreme comes. In around 180? It's really the fact it can dip to 2 ohms, tons of current- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.
