My next question would be how common are mono amps? Is there a liklihood that todays high tech amps made with mono outputs as an option?
Mono amps are still around, alot of the class d's that you see are 1 channel, cost saver to produce a class d over say class ab or 'true' a. Many people on a higher listening level tend to veer away from class d because it has a reputation for having "dirty" power. I don't really see any benefit to using a mono over two channel if they are both class a/b, and if we flip it around a two channel amplfiier is much more flexible than a mono, so I don't see too many high end companies producing mono amplifiers.
Of course this is assuming the two channel is bridgeable.
