Would a stereo Sim Audio Moon 861 amp be as powerful as 2 McIntosh 611 monoblock amps?
@overthemoon oh wow thank you for sharing. Can you please tell me what preamp you are using with the moon 860 amp?  
Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse?
@tomcarr ya, I was eyeing the Class D PS audio monoblocks. But it really stinks for me to buy them without hearing them. Even with the 30 day return period. Were able to hear them first before buying them?   
Does the Gryphon Antileon EVO stereo amplifier go for sale on the used market?
I was thinking though... used they go for 25k. That is pretty large gamble since you don't know really who you are buying from and what condition it really is in.   
Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead
@jeffreyw I was going to ask in a private message but I don’t see a way to send a private message on this site. Doing research on McIntosh, I came across this post by you https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2558077 I was going to ask... it was onl... 
Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead
@jeffreyw I was going to ask, please.... 1) For the system you are upgrading to that will have more fine detail. Doesn’t that mean bad recordings will sound worse on your new system versus the McIntosh (w c-12000) which helps with bad recordings ...

@jeffreyw In your transition to the new Solution system, have you sold your monoblocks yet? I was curious how difficult or easy it is for you to sell them?

@jeffreyw how do you feel about a c 12000 preamp sound compared to the system you are switching to?

@jeffreyw Interesting story, thank you. If I may ask, please, why do you wish you purchased the MC 462 over the 611s in hindsight?  
Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market?
@pickindoug sorry to hear about your back trouble. Wow, so monoblocks sound that good? I actually never heard them yet so that saids alot.

@coltrane1 did you have to use freight shipping?

@coltrane1 how long did it take you to sell the pair of two monos? In what price bracket were they in? If I may ask  
Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market?
It would be the McIntosh MC611 amps. But they really weigh close to the McIntosh stereo amp (forgot the model number) so I am not sure if I can say weight would be a benefit. I am trying to look ahead down the road because I have been prone to ch... 
What actually determines volume power? Is it watts?
My guess is that this amplifier is thinning out at high volumes and can’t keep up with the demands of the music and the speakers. A high current amp of the same wattage would probably sound fuller at high volumes and might scratch the itch.  @z... 
What actually determines volume power? Is it watts?
I don’t want to switch speakers... I want to keep the speakers I have and to be able to listen to the music at 30-50% volume and still have plenty of power on reserver if I want to go louder. With the Yamaha, my normal listening level is at 70% an... 
Poorer sound stage and bass impact, Focal Scala Utopia Evo vs  Focal Sopra N3???
It’s the break in time period. My Sopras N1 sounded nothing like they did after breaking in.
