You may want to look for a Hegel H30 on the used market. The advantage being this 1150 Watt Mono Amp can also be run in Stereo mode with a flick of a switch on the back panel. Should meet your power requirements today and leave you the option of picking up a second H30 in the future. Then you could run them as mono amps or as two stereo amps for bi-amping your speakers. Terrific amps with multiple configuration possibilities.
Which mono power amp would you choose and why?
In the next month I'm looking to get some feedback on which of these 2 mono power amps to buy, the Musical Fidelity m8-700m mono block power amplifier, or the Cary SA-500.1 ES mono block power amplifier. I'm looking to spend between 7k and 9k for the pair. They will be hooked up to my new Benchmark LA4 line amplifier.
