"The price/performance ratio is much better of a stereo system and if you want a high-end MCH system, it will raise the cost and complexity of the system. Only the cheap AV systems are a success but not the expensive high-end MCH systems."

No truer words have been said. Yes, quad was conceived as a gimmick to wring more bucks from 'audiophile' consumers.

I personally would prefer an excellent mono system over all others, for economic, musical, and archictectural reasons.

Multi-channel audio = a tiny percentage of the tiny SACD market. No telling how much more expensive it would be with multi-channel playback.

My Accuphase amplifier has a mono button. Problem solved.

  A true dedicated mono amp should be smaller and less expensive, given everything else equal.

    I do not think the market for mono equipment is large enough that manufacturers are willing to invest in this niche market. Maybe you can find some vintage audio for mono purposes.

        Yes, in the old days mono was standard but we have evolved but old Jazz mono recordings sound very good. Dave Brubeck has many mono vinyl record albums.
