Hmmmm, here's the Nord link to what i was looking at:
https://www.nordacoustics.co.uk/product-page/nord-one-nc250mp-4-10-channel-amplifier
I added a normal "7 channel" to my shopping cart and the only addition I saw was 100 Euro for shipping to USD, making it a total of 1674 Euro, or $1876 USD. The only thing I can think of is that Nord would add a VAT tax, which I am completely unsure of. Is this what you are calculating?
The Monolith may have balanced XLR inputs, but I don't know that the actual amplifier output board is "balanced/differential". In a normal single-ended amp, the red speaker connector has power and the black speaker connector is just connected to ground. In a fully balanced/differential amp, both red/black speaker connections have power and they push/pull with one another.
