Looking to Add to my 7100

Hi
Thinking of adding another (McIntosh 7100 power amp) to the one i have (C-26 pre) can any one explain how to do mono block.  (One 7100 does not seem to be enough power) to push my (Platinum Audio Solo's) I have to crank it up to ## 7 or 8 to get it to sing.... (Thanks in advance)

Where you set your volume on your preamp has nothing to with whether your amp is running out of power, only the gain of your preamp.

Are you in fact running out of power? Your amp has a clipping light on it that will flash if it is. Is it flashing? Does it flash if you turn it up a little further?  Where are the gain controls set on the 7100?

Mrdecibel-  Good point. I would have mentioned it, but since the OP was clear he only wanted an answer to his specific question, I figured let him discover for himself.  Perhaps he will be more inclined to listen to your sage advice.
