H2O Signature Stereo vs H20 Signature Mono Amps

I am in the process of downsizing my rig and am curious to learn more about the H2O amps.

Has anyone compared the signature version stereo amp to the signature version mono amps? If so, please share your findings in the comparing of the 2 set-ups?

Do the signature mono's perform that much better than the signature stereo to justify twice the price?

Is Henry coming out with a pre-amp? If anyone has info on this, please share what you know.

Are the H2O amps a fully balanced design?

I am strongly considering matching a good tube pre with solid state power amplification. If you have had success or failure doing so, with the H2O amps, please share your experiences.

Thanks!

Barrelchief,

I recently purchased the Sig S250 for $2800. I asked Henry about the sonic comparisions between the Sig S250 and the Sig mono 250. Henry told me that the Sig S250 sound almost as good as the regular M250s but that the Sig Monos sound best. However, he stated that the degree of difference between the Sig S250 and the Sig M250 diminishes with speakers which are an easy load. At 300 hours of break-in the Sig S250s are awsome with my ProAc D80s which can be driven with as little as ten watts. I cannot imagine better.
