Are monoblocks better than stereo, with tube amps?


I am only in the research phase of audiophilia. My present system includes a creaky NAD 150w amp and ghastly sounding speakers from a "rack system" circa 1988 Stalingrad. Anyway, I am hoping to eventually save for a tube set-up with a kind turntable and sweet, costly speakers. I am wondering if there is any advantage to using a monoblock system for amplification and why.

thanks for the responses, which have led me to more questions.
Czbbcl, atmasphere, unsound; what do you mean by 'modulation of power supplies', 'proximity', most importantly, what factor involving amplification's sound is more important then the monoblock versus stereo argument? Also, I understand a bit about why speaker wire should be shorter than interconnects, but should interconects literally be quite long (forgive the obtuse questions)
