If you bridge two amplifiers it will be difficult to tell if the change in sound quality is from the doubled capacitance or the doubled power rating of the xfmr's. However, monoblock amplifiers themselves have no sonic advantage over a single box stereo. The reason mono's exist is for thermal management. It is very difficult to build a Class A stereo amp more than 50 or 60 wpc -- the amount of heat sinking would be ridiculous. To go above that, only mono's are economically feasible. For tube amps, mono's are common because of real estate reasons as the transformers are relatively big per unit of power and need to be separated (magnetic field reasons) and the tubes need space for dissipation.
