The Fosi v3 only puts out 34wpc into 8 ohms with the stock power supply...so you need to buy the 48v supply to get the 89 watts.
The Fosi lacks the XLR inputs
The Fosi lacks the 12v turn on circuit
The Fosi is a great little amp, but not in the same league as the Monolith.
I have the Fosi V3 with the 48V power supply. They are down to around $80 in open box condition on eBay. To get around the on/off issue, I use a master/slave power strip. It also turns my Aircom cooler on and off with the receiver. The Cyberpower power strip was only $15. If I were using the external amp to push my fronts, I'd go with the Monolith (for twice the cost of the Fosi and a master/slave power strip), but I'm just using it to push two wide speakers that are barely even utilized.

Would the monolith be better than the amps I mentioned if I'm looking to run a 2.1 setup with Elac Debut 3.0 / Emotiva XB2? (although still researching bookshelfs. I did try the KEF LSX II from costco, loved the dispersion and soundstage on it) will also be using the wiim ultra as a preamp. Sorry I'm still noob when it comes to ohms and watts. Will be in an apartment but I do like things loud sometimes.

The perfect amp to power your Streamer Box, add 2 more channels to your 7 channel amp, or to give some serious power to a dedicated Stereo system.
90wpc into 8 ohm speakers, 135wpc into 4 ohm speakers
