In Reply to: I've used monoblocs (6 channels) for 15 years and have had absolutely no problems ... posted by andyr on April 5, 2014 at 03:18:38:
Let's see. I have owned Quicksilver mini-mites, a pair of Blue Circle 50W SS monos, Fi Audio 2A3/45 monos, and a pair of Class A, triode-wired PP amps by Abraxas audio.None of them ever missed a heart-beat.
I like monoblocks, but not for the usual reason (dual power supplies). I like them because they don't weigh as much and because I can use short speaker cables (1.5M max) and reasonably short ICs (1.5M max), and they don't take up shelf space. Finally, it's easier to follow the wiring in case something does go wrong.
Of course some SS monos have pretty "dense" layouts and do weigh a ton. However, I like the simplicity of tube circuits and layout. The Fi monos are the height of simplicity (2-stage) in layout and quite small.
