Have you tried any SET's on the Odeon's ?I like the Devialets but in mono form , they are nothing sound wise like what a good SET does and i have never heard a single Devialet playing in stereo mode my HIFi friends who have them all went to mono mode after being very disappointed in them in stereo mode and said the contrast was huge . A pity you never tried feeding your phono pre into the Devialet for a quick comparison ..
Regards

What do you think the Ayon Crossfire is? Before that Wall Audio Opus M50 monos (parallel 6C33C) before that JJ322 (parallel 300B...still have this one) and before that NAT Symbiosis SE (hybrid SET). Also, we have run the KR Audio VA350i on it as well as some push/pull triode (Vac 30/30 and Pure Sound A30). So, mainly ONLY set has been run on them...at 98db/watt there is no need for more.
Funny that you mention mono. I have a friend who has the biggest monos from Devialet and couples them with a really nice pair of Piega planar hybrid speakers. However, it doesn't really sound very good. That is why he has now built another system around the Odeon No. 32, Lamm M1.1 hybrids, Lampizator Golden Atlantic and soon to be acquired Aries Cerat Incito preamp. Even without the Incito it whips the crap out of the Devialet/Piega combo. You put the electronics from that "big rig" onto the Piegas and it might very well sing nearly as sweetly.
Of course, would going mono with Devialets REALLY make a sonic improvement on a speaker where we are normally cruising well below 1 watt of output on the amp? Hard to understand that really. How can having even more circuitry cure the problem?
For me, going with monoblocks is more about the benefits of separation of signal, and extremely short speaker cables than power, watts are cheap these days.Martin

Good watts are not cheap at all...
Go back to 1950 and try to buy a 200watt/channel amp, then get back to me on that lol.
I wouldn't have wanted one then and I don't want one now.
Not the point, but if that's what you want to take from it go for it lol.Martin
