If you have the money, then monoblock would satisfy that want. Also depends what speakers you are driving? The difference is so minimal that you will tell yourself there is a difference but in actuality, its probably zero. I bought a pair of Emotiva HC-1 and heard no sonical difference, now they are used my backyard for BBQ.
To monoblock or not to monoblock McIntosh MC275's
Hi everyone,
I'd appreciate your opinions on the matter. I currently own an MC275 MK IV, running McIntosh XRT 28's. It sounds great - even though the XRT's can handle up 1200W and the MC275's output 80-90W.
I got my hands on a NOS (still sealed) MK IV, and I'm debating whether I should keep it and run as them monoblocks. The reason I'm not trying it personally, is because I don't want to open that new one that's still sealed.
So my dilemma is - would running 2 MC275 as monoblocks make a BIG difference in sound quality?
I'm sure it will be louder, but for the sake of the argument, if my sound is now 100% - in your opinion
(hypothetically speaking) will it improve it to say 103% or 120%? Will I notice a big enough difference?
Thank you!
