ARC Ref 75's as monoblocks?


Hi Goners, have a question. Is it possible/feasible to run ARC Ref 75 amps as monoblocks? I have one and thought of getting Pass monos but it would be cheaper just to pick up another 75. Anyone ever hear of doing this? Thanks for any input. Joe.

In general, I am not a fan of bridging amplifiers. It's sort of like a parlor trick and, yes, sometimes the result is ok. But if you want a monoblock amplifier, I think the best thing to do is buy one rather than kludge a stereo amp.
@almarg Good info as always. I was planning to run another brand stereo tube amps in parallel but probably best buy mono version. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the input, I had no idea if it would work but now I see it's probably not a good idea. Appreciate it. Joe
If the speakers you are using are bi-wire or bi-ampable, perhaps using another arc ref 75 is feasible? Are there 2 sets of preamp outs on the pre-amp in service?
@wturkey has it right.  CHECK with ARC and then see if you can bi-amp your speakers, which would be the best solution for amps not specifically made to use as mono-blocks. I THINK ARC will agree, although you should work with them on the precise config. you have in mind.

Cheers!
