Comparing Two Pairs of Mono's

I had the Karthago and later Kismet monos. I bought the monos after I heard KEF driving their Muons at CAF with them. They are good sounding amps for the price and come with a 20 year warranty. Klaus’s systems generally sound excellent at audio shows. I still have his Kismet speakers. No experience with AVA.

If they are not true mono block amplifiers then again your point is well founded.

Sorry charles you asked , here is a Stratos monoblock bridged. https://ibb.co/VVtFCsq
(misprint the L&R bridging strap is output not input)

Here is the Stratos wired in stereo https://ibb.co/fSShKFn

Are Bryston monoblocks true/dedicated mono amps?

Yes both the 7B and 8B are true mono block amps. They have a very high slew rate, one of the highest in the industry.
