It depends on your cable philosophy. If you believe in short interconnects and longer speaker cables, use one box. If you believe in long interconnects and short speaker cables, two boxes. Theoretically monos give you two power supplies so the two channels are not sharing one power supply transformer (except for dual mono stereo amplifiers), and less channel crosstalk.
Advantages of monoblocks
Hey all,
The merry-go-round, which had stopped for a while, is now showing signs of a slow circular movement. In nautical and financial terms this is usually never a good sign.
Anyhow, I'm running a quite good LSA Statement integrated now, powering de Capo BE monitors. I was wondering if monoblocks and a good pre-amp would be a better way to go?
I last had monoblocks when I ran Rogue M120's about a decade ago befor moving on to an ARC VS-110.
Would monoblocks present a significant advantage over a single amplifier or over the tremendous LSA?
They would have to be used and my budget is $4K max.
Cheers,
