I found some old threads by Spiff that look promising, but was wondering if anyone is currently driving Axioms with the stratos, especially the 80's. I've heard nothing but great things about Klaus and Odyssey amps, and the 20year transferable warranty is pretty attractive. Thanks, Randy

Ive got a pair of Khartago Mono's with 120,000uf per channel cap upgrade and wiring upgrade. And yes, Driving my 80's they are fantastic. Im guessing that you however will want to go for the stratos mono extremes. Perhaps that will cure your itch for more power

I wish the US website was updated. I clicked on the "International" link and then Great Britain, which seems to have much more information and specs. What the heck is Khartogo?

Randy, I've been using the Khartago amp for a little over a year now. It is a slightly less powerful version (2x110 W) than the Stratos in a less extravagant enclosure. Klaus has a few things he sells that aren't on his website. Best thing is to give him a call and tell him what you're looking for. He won't steer you in the wrong direction. I've made a couple of purchases with him and don't regret it. In fact, I'm expecting something else from him soon.

I'll give you a hint--it comes in a box and helps play music!

Candela perhaps? I want one of those too! Klaus's website is pretty out of date but he does have a new one in the works. This site has most information you would need though: http://www.odysseyaudiosg.com/When I had talked to Klaus and asked him about the power output into 4 ohms IIRC he said about 260watts each for my mono's with the cap upgrade. The Khartago will get pretty warm when you crank em up since they are in a smaller case with smaller heat sink, However the stratos doesnt usually get very warm at all even when cranking due to the excessivly large external heatsinks. Give Klaus a call, he is a great guy and wont try to sell you something that wont work in your system and that you wont be happy with. Usually the evening or nighttime Indy time is the best time to call him.

Nope.
You are right about the heat of the Khartago, although I haven't really cranked mine that much. What I do like is that I feel comfortable that they will be able to drive pretty much anything I throw at them (within reason). I'd like to convert mine to monos, but can't justify the extra expenditure. Yet.

Looking at the above website, I'm trying to determine which model would be best for the 80's? What does going with the higher memory options resolve, I see the Stratos Extreme has 180,000. I don't see any specs for 4 ohm speakers either.
