[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3022572, member: 561023"] Umm...that's half true. I have been speaking in generalities that [I]are[/I] fact. It is a [B]fact[/B] that the majority (not all) of multichannel amps are Class A/B units. It is a [B]fact[/B] that the majority (again, not all) of monoblock amps are Class D. It is a [B]fact[/B] that in the majority of cases (again - I am not claiming all though this one I am not 100% certain about) a Class D amplifier is going to be significantly more efficient than a comparable Class A/B amp. The OP asked about mono amps Vs. a 2-channel amp. Going by the above posted guidelines it is an [I]accurate[/I] assumption that the comparison can be made into a Class A/B Vs. Class D debate. As such the 2nd post in the thread from Nelson was also 100% on target in saying that a mono amp (going by the assumption that almost any mono the OP might consider buying is a Class D amp) is going to be considerbly more efficient than a 2-channel amp (again - going by the assumption that almost any 2-channel the OP might consider buying is a Class A/B unit). I am speaking in generalities as the above is not the case [B][I]for each and every possible scenario[/I][/B] but most inarguably [B][I]IS the case for MOST possible scenarios[/I][/B][I].[/I] [I] [/I] Generalities and facts are not mutually exclusive.
