Forte 4A vs Monarchy SM-70 (std model) in bridged mode

I have owned both and recommend another SM-70. They are very good amps and replaced my Forte.

It was 17+ years ago, I don't remember the differences, I did, however after a couple of years sell the SM-70's and move to a Pass Labs, all Aleph system, Ono, 30 and P. I would no doubt still have this combo but had to downsize due to a remodel. I do faintly remember the Monarchy had a bit more lively presentation and better controlled bass than the Forte.
