I easily found perfect sound stage, depth and image after switching to monoblocks, not because of just ample power supply but total channel separation. I also ran a dedicated power bar from the main circuit breaker(MCB) to ensure clean power source.
I was also using high power multi-KTs power amp Jadis Jefy 7 to drive my pair of 4 ways 5 units speakers. It was a nightmare to find double quad set matched pairs. Now my approach is to use high effiiciency floor standing speaker, power up by monoblock pre and monoblock SET power amp. Try this out and you may find your ultimate point of arrival.

以前我都同你一樣到處飛搵錢,07年家父患病令我學會珍惜身邊人,決定以出生地香港作為主要基地,放棄亞太及澳紐區以外所有生意及投資,雖然兩位老人家相繼離去,但這幾年跟他們過得很充實。
唔好意思借左呢條thread講私人嘢,希望大家good health and wealth(我好鬼貪心)。

It was a wise decision, though may not be the best. I still have business in 16 Asia Pacific and Australia countries. Most importantly is that I can spend more time with the family and the hobbies. After trimming down biz traveling, especially long haul to the States and Europe, I play tennis, golf and swim 2、3 times a week for good health, and chatting with my son every night.
There was a choice between McIntosh MC601 monoblocks and Audio Note interstage 300B monoblocks. I bought the latter one at the end of the day. It was in the kit form and I built it myself, and made changes to whatever I wanted. That's one of the beauty of DIY.
I was born in early 60s'. May be 1、2 years older than you.老排 is probably the youngest amongst us. His passion on repair and maintainence really really impressed me. One day I may buy an Accuphase A-100 vintage and seek some advise from him.

We have things in common. Some America background, and big is beautiful! This is my floor standing loudspeaker. Weights 200lbs/each. A pair of them together with other equipment weights 500lbs.
I'm modernizing the speaker cabinet to wine barrel shape. Of course DIY.
