Mono Blocks / why are they not more prevalent? + Wyrded4Sound SX1000R


I am just learning about mono-blocks, and if they provide the benefits claimed why are they not used by more  audiophiles? I  am looking for a used Wyred4Dound Sx1000R- any  thoughts?

@mitch2  .. Do you know if your monoblocks have the same whole FR and FR deviation levels and same lever of distortions and noise and that when the speaker impedance curve that normally is not stable both unit respond exactly the same?.

In true your monoblocks are true matched one to the other?

@rauliruegas - Respectfully, this thread is not about my monoblocks.  I have two sets and I am perfectly happy with how they sound.

@mitch2  : Probably a disadvantage of monobloks is about if are mated. I posted before.

Every thinig the same probably monobloks iare better.

Mostly cost I would imagine. As a designed/manufacturer on and off for decades I can share a secret: most of the cost of equipment is in the chassis/jacks/trim. A single chassis can be dual mono, if you really care (I find its over-rated and $$ better spent elsewhere, but different strokes) - at FAR less cost and therefore price.  It's nice to set a monoblock by each speaker.  But nice costs.

They aren't used more because they don't provide said benefits. Simple as that. Enjoy your cheap AVR amps that sound the same.
