    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.

    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 ;)

    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.

    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.

    Holy effin' moly Sid! Details... details. What does Klaus pack into those things?
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    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.

    :)

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
