If you want to see how a bunch of the new receivers only put out ~30 watts when they go into a secret 'limp mode' with no indication that you are not getting the 135wpc you paid for......
Even if you forget and leave the internal amps on, the heatsink fans will never come on because they are not actually under load.

The 30wpc that you are currently getting from the receiver seems loud, but you are missing out on the dynamic peaks that can be 100w, even on moderate volume movie watching.
Community Reviews
The Monolith 7 channel amp is mainly a headroom and expansion piece for home theater setups, especially when an AVR is hitting low power limits or needs extra channels. It can run cool, add dynamics, and help with future Atmos or 7.2.4 upgrades, while some setups barely change because the receiver already has enough power. The main cautions are reported hum on some units, a two prong power cord, and occasional compatibility quirks. It fits best when the system truly needs external amplification.

Just because I post a deal, it does not mean that I 'personally' bought it (I've posted 100s of deals); or that it would currently satisfy me.
But, thousands of us (myself included) have bought receivers that will lock into 20w mode once exposed to a 4Ω load.
So, much better to have 130wpc @ 4Ω for the price of a dozen slabs of vinyl, than to limp along at 20wpc .
LOL!!!
hmmm "wrong" don't see that anywhere!
Oh yea forgot, you don't agree with what I "read" = "wrong"!!! LOL
No fault to you, it's been going since the dawn of time.
Everyone gets in these debates because of the belief what "satisfy me" should be believed by anyone/everyone else!
In reality what we hear(sonics) is completely subjective, there is no universal better or worse.
Even science has tried to claim there is an answer and failed, ironically partly per their own belief!
Many people don't want to hear that, they have to be right, there is an answer for god's sakes!!!
This whole watts/limp mode thing is a good example.
A simplistic analogy(to be fair, there isn't a good one for sound), we are arguing how a car performs when it hits 100mph to the average person!
I leave that(try to) whole rabbit hole to those that care about it.
I'll mainly give my impression from personally using/listening to it.
If people want to believe it helps ok, if not I'm ok also.
I just play this fallacy game like everyone else!
Because you also said & I quote:
"It's full of vendors who want to steer you one way or the other"!
Please by all means, correct me if I interrupted that comment incorrectly?
Oh softball question!

Not on the box, not in the manual - not even as a bullet point on their glossy websites.
It's almost like they don't want buyers to know about this important feature.
You & Turne are cut from the same damn cloth!!!
Ok make it T-ball, can't strike out there!
What is your opinion implying?
Big hint: "want to steer you one way or the other"!
On a side note:
Why is my opinion a vendor & yours a non-vendor?
Oh never mind, forget the squirrel!
Apparently this is too complicated for you as it is!

Back label shows 1200W...probably a high current AB amp capable of putting out +100W x 7 continuously into 4 ohm load. Dynamic power output into 4 ohm could exceed 250W if the manufacturer installs more than 80,000 microfarad for the main filter. Even more impressive if the internal is populated with Japanese capacitors. I would definitely take advantage of the 45 day return policy if I was in the market for a decent amp and don't have to pay for return shipping/stocking.

Concerning the Monolith amp, we already know Audioholics refused to share their numbers. Anyone know where the presumptive 4 ohm power ratings are coming from (other than Monolith)?

He'll test it for free, then ship it back to you.
You'll have the results from the latest version of the amp, and if you ever sell it, you can brag that it has been thoroughly tested by Amir.

There lies the elephant in the room imo.

A side note:
If your center is their 520c.
You might consider switching to their 625c.
Many consider the 520c the very weak link in that series.
The 6 series are a much better center ime.
Crutchfield has a decent sale on them right now.
The 625c is $194 & 665c for $399.

A couple of years ago Monoprice had the dual 15" 3000w M215 sub on sale for $1000 shipped .
Kids on the internet were saying it was discontinued, clearanced, 'below cost', bla bla bla.....but nope, it was just a sale. They still sell it today (and now with the tariffs it's $3k).
Shows how much markup there actually is in Big Audio.
