Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market?


I will be buying a new 2 channel McIntosh system soon and I am trying to decide between a 2 mono block amps or a single stereo amp. Curious... if I decided to sell down the road is it easier to sell mono blocks or a single stereo amp on the used market? Was not sure which is more in demand.

Yup mono's more difficult to sell but please get what floats your boat. If we set up our systems looking for future resale values, then without a crystal ball it's likely moot anyway.

Also (Duhh) mono's need a pre that also may require selling. Then there's more power cords, shelf space, tubes and at lease twice a year dusting. It's exhausting to contemplate. 

 

 

@dean_palmer Yes most do want one box and for good rea$on. And many integrated's are superb.

I always had an intreated AMP until (and I was never ensorcelled with monos or even thought much about 'em.)  But a life long deeper dive into sound reproduction took me finally to Mono Blocks.  Blocks are often an audiophile's progressive destination for some, not imagined until they are. Bingo.
