  Mono Block tube amp or Stereo Tube amplifier?
I am thinking about buying a tube amplifier but I am caught up in deciding on Stereo or mono block tube amplifier. Can someone point out the pros and con of each? and which do you think is better?

I am using Legacy Audio Focus 20/20 speakers, and I have McIntosh C2200 Preamp, McIntosh MC402 amp, McIntosh CD player, and VPI Scout turntable. I am considering Bi-Amping, with tubes driving the Mid/High, and the MC402 driving the woofers. So that is where I am hang up between getting a mono block tube or stereo tube amp. I do realize that I have to use an active crossover in the Bi-amp configuration since the amps are different. Any thoughts on Mono blocks tubes versus stereo tubes amps for this application?
