monoblock vs. non monoblocks

[See-Fu]

What makes monoblocks so much more sought after than a non monoblock amplifier? Even when a non monoblock amp outpowers a monoblock amp from the same manufacture, what makes the monoblock a "better" amp?

[aud19]

The same things that make a seperate mulitichannel amp better than a reciever. Seperate power supplies, less interference between components, generally beefier and/or higher quality components etc.

And don't forget, I.M.O., the system just looks better w/monoblocks :T

thats right usually yielding better better separation, imaging and detial. that said some very nice steeo power amps s well. keep in mind too there are many that are actually fully dual mono under the skin anyways so for all intensive purposes like having mono-blocs.

best nto to genralise with these things. best to demo options and let yoru ears decide to whats best.
