rel with monoblocks


I would appreciate input of any owners of rel st series 2 owners who have monoblocks. I am considering upgrading to monoblocks of a yet to be determined type, but my rel studio 2 instructions say that to use it with monoblocks, you must use a rel for each channel. To me it seems that as long as the rel cable would reach both amps it should be no different than connecting it to the back of a stereo amp. Any thoughts?

I’ve never noticed anything from REL recommending NOT using the "high level" amp driven input, as that’s a major part of the REL mojo, "The Sound of Your Amp." Very high impedance presented to the amp’s output means the amp doesn’t care. I use 2 RELs getting the same signal (helps with some room node standing waves it seems) and with proper placement and level they’re great sounding. One hot lead to each terminal (or each positive on a mono amp) and one to a negative lead...I doubt that would damage any amp. http://www.musicdirect.com/documents/pdf/ARELR218.pdf
