stereo amp vs monoblocks, any advantages?

"Are there advantages to monoblocks? Maybe. "

The advantages are real in theory in regards to optimal sound and worth being informed about.

In practice they may or may not matter much from case to case.

And, other factors generally come into play that are more important, like convenience.

Few setups are optimized to the nth degree (well some on this site are perhaps) and still sound great. My system certainly falls into that category.

If I were a vendor selling products or services to others rather than your typical Joe music lover, I would probably pay the nth degree of attention to these things. Otherwise, it really may not matter practically.

I agree with Entrope, and his name by the way, "Mono-blocks are cool"

I suggest you check the archives.

Second the "way cool" they,meaning the amps, may not sound
better,but it's like the wire wheels on the Ferrari.

I went from 1 amp to 2 and aside from the obvious power increase and all the benefits from that, I'm now getting better channel separation and imaging. As an unintended byproduct, they also provide nice heat sources in the winter for a north-facing living room as well as the aforementioned "cool" factor as all those tubes just glow their little hearts out... Now that I'm there, I wouldn't have it any other way.
