Using McCormack DNA-0.5 Deluxe as Mono Amps


Would anyone be able to provide advice whether it is okay to use two DNA-0.5 Deluxe amps each as a mono amp on a system? I have a TLC-1 preamp.

If it is okay to do, how do you set each DNA-0.5 as right and left channels?

How much power would each DNA-0.5 put out?

I've been running the passive vertical biamp arrangement Steve describes for a couple of years now and have had great results (I'm using Electron Kinetics Eagle 4 amps, not DNA 0.5). I considered converting them to monoblock but after asking the speaker designer which to use, I was advised biamping with 125 w/c would be better than a 400w monoblock, so I saved my money. FYI my speakers are Von Schweikert VR4genIIIs, and I think your results are very speaker dependent as I received the opposite advice when asking the same question about my Totem Mani-2's.
