Abstract7, I'm glad to hear of your success with different amps on the ML Monoliths, my brother's just finishing his house and plans on using a pair of the monolith III's with the active crossover, a Krell KSA 300s and an Aragon 4004 Mk II (I planned on using the Krell for the highs though-we'll see how it sounds!)
I'm curious, any problem with different volumes and tone balance?? I've found different amps respond to pre-outs differently, could you comment on this? This will be especially important for my bro' as he tends to listen to his system at extreme volumes. He does have two B&W 15" subs he'll be using with, so it may not be such a problem...
As for other speakers, I run Linn 5140's tri-amped with three of their 5105's (on my way to an active system myself) I did find significant improvement with triamping versus single amping (especially in bass extension and clarity), though it'd be hard to justify the price vs. improvement had I not been on the road to an active system, and were it not for Audiogon to allow me to buy them cheap!
