Perhaps what you would want to do is to biamp and use the opportunity to fix the prominent resonance peak from the woofer by using a steeper electronic XO - or use Davey's suggested XO modification.
The speaker is easily biamped with a god 100 watter on top and 200 on the bottom. The selection of good amps for either role is endless - a 4X kt88 or KT120 tube amp is ample for the top and can possibly even run the whole speaker with the KT120s.
If you stay with single amping I am not sure the odyssey would be much of an upgrade over the delta 100, though would definitely be more refined. The Parasound A21 is a very good amp and would easily outdo your old Delta.
