Stello monoblocks Mono amplifiers make a lot of sense, whether they're used for stereo playback or in a multichannel system. First, you get true channel separation right back to the wall plug. If you’re a purist, you’ve got to like that. There’s simply nothing shared between one channel and another as there is with a single-chassis stereo or multichannel power amplifier. Second, by separating each channel into its own chassis, you can place each amplifier close to the speakers or preamplifier, or wherever else you want to, which is not only convenient but also allows you the flexibility to use the length of interconnect or speaker cable that best suits your setup. I suspect that these are the some of the reasons Stello developed the M200, an ambitiously designed mono amp intended for stereo and multichannel systems. A pair of M200s costs $3495 USD with silver-finished chassis covers, $3695 with olive-finish covers (which is what the review pair came with). While the M200s are hardly cheap, even by the standards of high-end audio, when you consider how versatile these amps are, how striking they look, and how wonderful they sound, a pair of M200s represents startlingly good value and can find a home in even the finest music systems. Description Each M200 weighs 35 pounds and measures 12"W x 6 1/2"H x 17 1/2"D -- moderately sized and light enough that you’re not likely to hurt your back taking them out of their boxes and positioning them in your room. The M200 is a solid-state design with J-FET devices on the input stage and bipolar devices for the output stage. Stello rates the M200 at 140W into 8 ohms -- not huge power, particularly when today you can find affordable, high-power stereo amps like Anthem’s P2 (325Wpc for $2500), but 140W is way more than enough power for the majority of speaker systems. The M200s never ran out of steam on me. On the backside are single-ended and balanced inputs -- I used the single-ended ones. Even though the M200 has balanced inputs, it is not a fully balanced design. According to Stello, "From the point of sonic quality, balanced design during the passage from the source to the power amp is very reasonable. That's why we insist on the true balanced design for the source and preamplifier. But, the power amplifier is different." Also on the back are two 12V trigger inputs and one of two power switches. This switch is intended to be always left in the On position, which keeps the M200 in standby mode and its circuitry warm. To turn the M200s on for real, you use the push button on the front panel. Not surprisingly, the M200 shares the same kind of styling as the DA220 that I reviewed last year. I really like it. There’s a decidedly simple and elegant look to the pieces -- the faceplates have a very light texture and rounded edges, and the chassis covers have a brushed finish that looks slick. On the M200s there’s just a single heat sink mounted on one side. The DA220's and M200’s understated looks are in direct contrast to the overly-built-to-the-point-of-being-gaudy appearance of many amplifiers that seems so desirable to some. Give me the simplicity and elegance of the Stello gear any day.
