I've had multiple sets of monoblocks, run with both short IC/long SC and long IC/short SC, and the long IC/short SC has sounded better in all cases. In fact, my SCs now are only 18" long, which allows me to use two DIY runs of Cardas 11.5 ga copper litz in twisted pairs as my SCs, and they sound better than the expensive 3 meter SCs I had been using previously.
Advantages of monoblocks
Hey all,
The merry-go-round, which had stopped for a while, is now showing signs of a slow circular movement. In nautical and financial terms this is usually never a good sign.
Anyhow, I'm running a quite good LSA Statement integrated now, powering de Capo BE monitors. I was wondering if monoblocks and a good pre-amp would be a better way to go?
I last had monoblocks when I ran Rogue M120's about a decade ago befor moving on to an ARC VS-110.
Would monoblocks present a significant advantage over a single amplifier or over the tremendous LSA?
They would have to be used and my budget is $4K max.
Cheers,
simao
