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

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. 

I would select a stereo amp that can be bridged into mono, gives you or any future owner the ability to increase power should you/they need to.

read the small print of whatever you consider: some impedance taps are unavailable when you change to bridged mode.

@rick_n I agree with you.  Buying 2 mono block McIntosh amps at $7,500 each vs buying 2 Crown amps is the difference.  I have my mid-fi Emotiva monoblocks and they work for me whenever I want a 3 some :), and if I dont want them anymore.  Selling it for half the cost does just fine for me.

Personally, everything else being equal, I’ll always prefer monos over stereo.

But reputation, brand, model, and service history probably matter a lot more at resale than form factor.

Advantages of Stereo Amplifiers for Resale

1. Broader Market Appeal

• More universal compatibility

• Typically less expensive

• Easier for average audiophiles to integrate into existing systems

2. Cost Considerations

• Generally lower price point

• More buyers can afford them

• Less specialized investment

3. Practical Considerations

• Simpler setup

• Fewer components to manage

• More straightforward for non-expert audio enthusiasts

Potential Mono Block Challenges

• Higher cost

• More niche market

• Require more sophisticated audio knowledge

• Often need specific matching requirements

The broader compatibility and lower price point of stereo amps make them more attractive to a wider range of potential buyers.
