Odyssey Khartago Stereo Extreme SE power amplifier

Although the 110Wpc Odyssey Khartago solid-state stereo amp has been around for better than a decade, it was new to JV until amp-connoisseur Alon Wolf (of Magico) told him he used it in his shop and it was excellent. The Wolfman was right. Although the Khartago doesn’t have all the articulation and transparency of the standard-setting $40k Soulution 710 stereo amplifier, it has a shockingly similar balance (albeit a bit warmer and less transparent), no discernible grain, high resolution, and a deep, wide soundstage. Positively, the best budget amp JV has heard (and the $2k Odyssey Stratos monoblocks are great, too)

DSPeaker Anti-Mode 8033C and 8033S are here.

Anti-Mode 8033 Automatic Subwoofer Equalizer

Finland based company, DSPeaker Anti-Mode 8033C and 8033S are finally here in Malaysia.

Anti-Mode 8033C (Retail Price : RM1,600.00)

Anti-Mode 8033S (Retail Price : RM1,900)

A typical listening room resonates in low frequencies. Because of this, even the best subwoofer may not sound good enough. Much of the frequency content get masked by the resonances, introducing unwanted characteristics (such as "slowness" and "boominess") to the sound. This problem is most pronounced when subwoofer is placed close to walls or corners of the room.

The Golden Ear awarded Anti-Mode™ technology eliminates the resonances of the speaker and the room by equalizing both amplitude and time domain responses using very accurate digital signal processing filter structures and anti-phasing technology. This way, the listener can hear frequencies down to the cut-off frequency of the subwoofer. Transient response is also drastically improved in the process, making bass sound faster and more controlled.

Anti-Mode™ 8033 is very simple to use. The calibration process is completely automatic: it generates frequency sweeps to the desired calibration point (or multiple points) and measures the combined transfer function of the subwoofer-room system.

Anti-Mode™ 8033 uses regular RCA connectors, which can be found from vast majority of home theater equipment. Input to the device is taken from the line level subwoofer output of the (pre-)amplifier. Output is connected to the line level input of the subwoofer.

Features

• Measures and corrects the combined frequency response of your subwoofer system and the listening room
• User-friendly automatic calibration procedure
• Can be used with any active subwoofer
• Minimum phase filtering, no significant algorithm delay
• Correction range 16-144 Hz
• Three user-selectable additional equalization filters
• Single or multiple measurement point calibration
• Measurement microphone is included
• Ultra-compact enclosure: 126 mm x 80 mm x 28 mm (5" x 3.2" x 1.1")
• Low power consumption: 1.5 W

Introducing the Odyssey Audio Stratos HT-3 Plus SE Power Amplifier

We are proud to introduce you the latest member of our range of products, Odyssey Audio's Stratos HT-3 Plus SE power amplifier. Our aim is to bring you one the best amplifiers that will not cost you an arm or a leg.

Odyssey Audio is essentially an extension of Klaus Bunge's German Acoustics, which started distributing high end audio products from Germany in 1988. A year later, German Acoustics imported the first Symphonic Line amplifiers. Over the years, German Acoustics succeeded in establishing Symphonic Line as a true reference line of audio products, and won over a highly dedicated and loyal base of Symphonic Line owners. 
 

At the end of the '90's, plans were made to manufacture a more cost effective amplifier and preamplifier line here in the US. Due to the long relationship with German Acoustics, Symphonic Line designed the circuitries for the newly planned products. 

Since the old German Acoustics was known for audio imports only, Odyssey Audio started as a manufacturing company as well as the importer for Symphonic Line . Thus, the Stratos amplifiers and the Tempest preamplifier were planned, designed, and manufactured in Indianapolis, Indiana. Over the past year, Odyssey Audio also started to offer the Khartago and Kismet amplifiers.

Odyssey Audio is from Indiana, USA.
