My dealer stated that the way to is with 6550WC's. What are you all using? Also, does anyone have theirs set up as mono blocks? If yes, any problems?

Didn't check back in...I was using a single 890 for about 2 years and then moved to a monoblock configuration when I got my Marten Bird 2 speakers little over a year ago. A single 890 was outstanding, but monoblocks is just like moving from a twin turbo v6 engine to a V12. Utterly effortless. I am super happy with this configuration...dynamics, transient response, richness, superb bass...all TdP hallmarks. Using EI KT90 in both amps. How do u like your EAR 912 and Zesto Bia 120 configuration?? I've heard the combo before at Bob Levi's home and it was great!
