HT, WHAT'S BETTER 2 CHANNEL + 3 OR ONE 5 CH


WHAT IS BETTER AND WILL GIVE OPTIMAL SOUND FROM THE MAINS?

RUN ONE TWO CHANNEL AMP FOR THE FRONTS AND THEN ADD A 3 CHANNEL FOR THE CENTER AND REAR OR JUST GO WITH A 5 CHANNEL SET UP?

In theory all things being equal, 5 monoblocs would be best, then 3 and 2 channels, and then 5 channels.

Just having 5 individual power cords and power supplie/transformers would make the monoblocs the best.

This is assuming that all electronics are equal, and the efficiency advantage of 5 blocs over a single chassis would and could be realized.

Even heat dissipation would be better, with larger radiating surface areas and more metal.
