MC250's as monoblocks?

[kuisis]

Has anyone ever run MC250's as monoblocks? If so I was curious about your opinions. I have Klipsch LaScalas as my speakers and A Juicy Music Peach as a pre.

Forget the mc-250, go dual mono with the mc-2100 like I did. My twins had the audio upgrade done by the GREAT Terry Dewickt
You won't regret it

The JMA Peach with an MC250 on Klipsch makes an unbelievable match up. I contemplated the monoblocking but never got around to it. I had a Peach I or II with an MC250 on my LaScalla II's.....It would be embarrasing for me to give details of what newer equipment this combo could beat. I also heard this JMA Peach with an MC250 on some Klipsch MWM's......ridiculous how great that sounded. You only needed a few watts from that to blow you away.

If your using Klipsch stuff that is a little lower in efficiency like the Chorus.....Bridging the 250's would be a possible plus. Don't know.

Too bad Mark Deneen has closed the doors to new products from Juicy Music.

I'd definitely give it a try; the '250 is the most often overlooked SS amp in the vintage lineup. (read; inexpensive)

I've often thought of getting another one. Briefly.

Those two amps sound similar, did you compare dual mono with the 2100 versus the 2100 alone? If so could you tell a difference?

I used 1 2100 with a pr of Infinity-sm112 for 3 years, when I picked up the 2nd 2100 I had already switched spkrs to Dali Ikon 6's. I now have much better bass, the mid-range is absolutely fantastic & the hi freq's are amazing on these spkrs. Terry D says these amps will only be good for another 35 years. That means I'll be 80 when they might need to be upgraded again

Yes, I'm looking forward to this experiment, should be interesting
