+1 for all of the above who voted for monoblocks. I love mine.
Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead
I am planning on buying a McIntosh system. It is a system I have been wanting a very long time. No need to suggest any other brand... I am set on this one.
I am going to get the CP 12000 preamp for sure. However, I can’t decide between a pair of MC611’s monoblocks or the MC-462 stereo amp. It seems like for $6k, the mono blocks are not much more in price and I get a lot more audio for the extra $6k.
Talk me out of buying the monoblocks! Tell me your experience if you had both? Do you like stereo amps better after owning monoblocks? Tell me why.

@dman777 'Warmth' and detail do not have to be a tradeoff. |
I have owned both. And I cannot rationalize the M462 over 611s if the cost is irrelevant based on performance alone. There are other implications including space, logistics of set-up and connectivity that could favor a stereo versus monoblocks. There are outstanding stereo amplifiers and McIntosh’s product line has many more monoblocks designs at its higher end lines. |
