Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I last posted, but have enjoyed keeping up on the discussion and am so very impressed at the vibrant community of Thiel owners and fans we have here!
I need some advice: I have been looking to add a second Audio Research D240 MKII solid-state amp to my system to go along with my ARC LS7 tube preamp and PH3 tube phono preamp. Having 2 D240 MKII’s in mono configuration would bring the rating to 480 watts @ 4 ohms per channel.
Having said this, knowing that my CS 3.5’s have some history of blowing the mid-range drivers when driven hard, is this a case of having too much power? I don’t tend to listen too loudly, but wonder if having more power would lead to better control, dynamics and bottom end. Or am I getting this already with my single amp’s 240 watts? I guess what I’m asking is, are monoblocks worth it?
Thanks for any feedback....I really value the experience and knowledge you all share here!
Hope you are all doing well,
Arvin
