"I know the mono is better sonically
Emster,
What do you mean exactly? If you mean that a designer, who has wringed the last musical nuance out of his circuit design but would like to take it still further, might do that by splitting his design into two boxes at considerable expense, then you are right. But if you mean that an amp in two boxes is better than an amp in one box, at a price point, then I disagree. Many top designers, like FM Acoustics, make very expensive single box amps that will thoroughly trounce the majority of monoblocs. Im not trying to scold. I just dont want you to feel that youre making some big compromise because youre seeking a single box solution. Thats just marketing puffery.
