They use something like this for the reasons I payed out in my question to you. You'd know if you "needed" this. It wouldn't be a ambiguous.

VenkatY said what they did, and I asked them what type of receiver the paired with it.

I'm aware of why, and I'm aware I likely won't ever need it. I'm curious to hear from the VenkatY. Thanks.

If anyone wants to read more about separates and especially about Monolith products, head off to avsforum and read as much as you want.

Their QA has been iffy in a few products such as subwoofers, etc. I am not familiar too much with their dedicated amps. Another online only company which is very old now, is Emotiva. Ofcourse, there are traditional high end separates from Bryston, NAD, Adcom, McIntosh.

Regarding why it's needed, it really depends on the application and the receiver. Some people like clean power at both higher and lower levels, especially if your speakers are power hungry. Not all avrs are made in same way. Don't go by published wattage. Most of the amps when all 7 channels driven produce lot less power. Harman Kardon used to publish real numbers when all channels driven. Denon used to fudge a lot. People bought expensive speakers and then found out how much they are missing out and switched to separates.

I just can't imagine ever spending this much money on electronics from a brand called monoprice.

What brands you think that you can spent money ? Monolith is brand name for audio. This amp has good reputation actually built by ATI . Obviously, you don't know audio gears.
