Hi guys, I am wondering why Rotel dont make monobloc amps anymore?
(I am talking solid state amps here not Class D amps)
Is it because there is no sonic advantage with monoblocs over stereo amps?
My reason for asking this is that I am looking at a pair of Marantz mono blocs
MA6100 which are 2 x 125watt @8ohm.
These Marantz mono blocs usually sell used for a similar cost to the RB1070's new price, so I suspect they may actually be a bit better.
When new the Marantz blocs were around $1600- $1800 Australian which is a similar cost to what a new RB1080 now is.
Anyone compared monos to stereo amps? Particularly the MA6100s to a Rotel stereo amp?
Any comments or info would be helpful.
I suspect that I may get comments in favour of the Rotel stereo amps here, but I would expect the comments to be genuine and unbiased as most appear to be here at Htguide forum.
Thanks guys
Pete
