ARC Ref 75's as monoblocks?


Hi Goners, have a question. Is it possible/feasible to run ARC Ref 75 amps as monoblocks? I have one and thought of getting Pass monos but it would be cheaper just to pick up another 75. Anyone ever hear of doing this? Thanks for any input. Joe.

In general, I am not a fan of bridging amplifiers. It's sort of like a parlor trick and, yes, sometimes the result is ok. But if you want a monoblock amplifier, I think the best thing to do is buy one rather than kludge a stereo amp.
These are differential amplifiers. I don’t think they can be run as monoblocks.
Bridging amplifiers isn't usually a good idea even when an amplifier is suited for it.
