Two Krell FPB 350mc versus one Krell FPB 600c


What would be the advantage, if any, of using two Krell FPB 350mc monoblocs instead of a Krell FPB 600c (two channel)? That's two monoblocks at 350 watts apiece versus a stereo amp at 600 watts per channel.

I'm wondering what the advantage of monoblocks are if you have to stick within a budget -- since two monoblocks can cost twice as much as one stereo amp of equal wattage per channel, is there enough of an advantage to go for monoblocks of lower power?

Although the 600 offers more power, the 350 monos are retailing for more money. Doesn't that say something in order to address your question ? Mono blocks are known to be quieter and more stable due to everything built separately from power supplies,transformers to chasis. You should ask this question of yours to Krell and see what kind of answers would they offer you ! Personally, I would go for the mono blocks. 600 watts v.s. 350 doesn't even make a 3 db increase in sound.
