McIntosh Experts Needed

I am currently contemplating another MC275mkvi to run as a pair of mono blocks. I am currently using one along with an Audio Research SP20 preamp, which by the way is an awesome combination. I use small Sonus Faber Minima Vintage speakers. What will I gain in sound quality? A friend told me that I would loose some of the sweetness of only one amp but would gain a bit more punch. He said it would sound more solid state than tube. What do the experts think ?

I tried with one MC275-V years ago. It sounded sweet and weak...it put me to sleep. I ran as a pair of mono blocks and I was awake and smiling. Lastly, I just bought a pair of MC601 and I found myself singing and dancing on the chair.
The choice is yours... whether you are going to bed or go dancing.
