Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market?

I will be buying a new 2 channel McIntosh system soon and I am trying to decide between a 2 mono block amps or a single stereo amp. Curious... if I decided to sell down the road is it easier to sell mono blocks or a single stereo amp on the used market? Was not sure which is more in demand.

If you are primarily concerned with sound quality, then monoblocks would be the choice. For me, that would be the only concern. But, I can't imagine that stereo amps are easier to sell.

The OP wasn't asking for advice on which to buy but for advice on which would be easier to sell. I'm kind of curious about his question as well.

the higher the price, the more specialized the product, the smaller the demand. Check out usaudiomart, how long these amp are stalling, not selling.

As you requested, I believe it would be easier to sell a stereo amp on the used market as opposed to mono blocks. This is my opinion.

My mistake... I intended to say that stereo amps have to be easier to sell... not the other way around.
