5 Mono Blocks or One 5-Channel>

[Markmm]

Been trying to find some thoughts behind this, and haven't heard a clear answer or opinion really.

I'm looking at:

Outlaw 990 + 5 2200's or
Outlaw 990 + (wait for new 5 channel)
Rotel 1069 + 1095

Pro's I've heard is seperate transformer etc per channel,

Con's cabling, and smaller power supply.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I will actually provide another option, the Rotel 1077 digital amp. I am unaware of the Rotel 1069 (1068?). I would also have logistic considerations with the monoblocks.
The best thing to do is to take a listen, before you invest. I am sure others will chime in.

Just my quick thoughts,

Well depending on whether you prefer Outlaw or Rotel's "sound" I would think if you have the space and money, not to mention the appropriate power capabilities in your home, that the 5 monoblocks should offer better performance. At least 5 Outlaw monoblocks should outperform an Outlaw 5-ch amp IMO. Whether it outperforms a 1095 or 5 Rotel monoblocks would have to be compared IMO though 3 monoblocks for your mains/centre and a 2ch amp for your surrounds would be plenty.

Thanks. Yeah, sorry, meant the 1068. Listening would be a great idea, however that's not really an option with Outlaw products.
