The only inputs to the Monolith 2 are RCA coaxial connections. Even if you could convert speaker level outputs to RCA, it would overdrive the Monolith.

This amp had line level inputs. (RCA jacks). You will need to connect from the pre-out outputs on your AVR to the inputs on the amplifier.

You have to have a receiver with pre-outs. The receiver will send the signal via RCA or XLR cable from the pre-out to the amp input XLR or RCA. Then you connect the amp to your speakers with speaker wire.

Depends on which model you are referring to. If you have one with pre outs you use those if not you would need a speaker level to line level converter.

Depends on the model of Marantz,, but balanced (XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) audio line level out to the only corresponding input options on the Monoprice.

BEST ANSWER: I think it's either 6' or 8' long. I have too many speakers, wires & electronics in the way to tell for sure. Either way, it didn't reach my outlet, so I used power surge strip, of which Monoprice has many. Here's a good one, for example: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=11146. I love, Love, LOVE the amp. I have the Monolith 5 (200x5) and an Emotiva XPA-5 Gen 3 (250x5) .... I prefer the rich, powerful sound of the Monolith over the Emotiva...just my two cents.

No, the out side housings is not fully ventilated only half. plus you would need an additional transformer for the added channels. It would be more cost effective to trade it in and up grade. Or if you have the space keep it for your two front channels and buy another amp with enough channels for the rest of your system, Monolith come with a variety of amps. I my self run a separate two channel amp for my two front speakers.

I'm experiencing a low hum coming from the amplifier (not from the speakers), what can I do?
A shopper
on Apr 2, 2021
BEST ANSWER: At some level, all 50/60Hz transformers will have some mechanical hum. There are many different reasons that can effect how loud the hum is.
The hum will be dependent on the quality of the AC coming from the wall. The mean line voltage should be 110-120volts. If the voltage is higher the hum will louder. If the hum is constant and at a fixed level, it means the line voltage is too high.
If the level changes, meaning it is louder sometimes and softer at other times, it means the AC line is distorted and or has low levels of DC on the line. DC on the AC line is actually quite common.
You might need to get a DC filter for your line, or us a ground cheater plug. Also, putting the amplifier on a hard surface (like a 1" block of granite) could help reduce the resonance as well.

You would need to use an RCA splitter. Since these splitters are generally stereo, you will also need to use a stereo to mono RCA adapter for each channel. Search for a 1x8 rca splitter to get you started.

Great amp..great price !
A fine amplifier in every regard. Pushes my old KEF 104/2 Reference speakers just right with plenty of head room to spare. Silent and strong in performance. This is a high performance modern amp in every way at a fraction of the price compared to other well known makes !! It has a very modern appearance which is understated. The manufacture also gives buyers a 45 day approval period which is pretty amazing in itself ! I am keeping mine though. Performance for the people !!

Incredibly satisfying
With every listen, I congratulate myself on this purchase. Driving Polk RTA 12B's, there's an effortless, foundational bottom that still amazes me 4 months after purchase. It's great-sounding in all ranges, but the power and control it brings to the low end, and to any percussive sound, is what really blows me away and reveals what I've been missing. A truly exceptional value.

Excellent amp at a great price
Nice and simple with plenty of power. It?s paired with a Yamaha receiver and Polk tower speakers along with a center channel and 8? subwoofer. The receiver by itself didn?t have near enough power to bring out the best in the speakers. The monolith was just what we needed at a great price point. The sound we get now is crisp, clear and rich with plenty of boom on the low end - really brings out the full potential of the tower speakers. Very happy with our choice.

This unit is extremely impressive. I?m very much into vintage gear, so moving into something so modern was a little unnerving, but I must say this thing has shattered any reservations I had.

Perfect Match for me
After purchasing a set of Polk LSIM 707's a couple of years ago, I began to realize that my 125 watts per channel Denon AVR was simply not up to the task. While I liked the versatility of the AVR, it simply lacked the power and detail I was looking for.
I did several years of research, visited a few big box showrooms and local boutique shops., and finally stepped up my search. This unit stood out, with its simple, unfettered design, ample power, and giant-killer specs. The price to performance, bang for the buck, or whatever you want to call it proved too tempting.
I've had the 2x200 running for 90 days in my home system and I could not be more pleased. The sound stage is wonderful. It produces the power these speakers require; with clarity and detail I could only hope for. My wife loved the upgrade. I wanted to share it with other people who were familiar with my room and set-up., so I invited my cousin to the house for a listening session a month later. The upshot? He ordered the identical unit a week later. Highly recommended.

Working great on Vintage JBL speakers
Purchased this to power to vintage JBL L100T speakers. I couldn?t be happier. These AMPs are something special. Good clean power.

Rated 5 out of 5
Rock solid,no problems just steady current for power hungry speakers
I exchanged the NAD C-268 amplifier for this one. It was the exact power that I needed for my Infinity reference series 263 tower speakers. Right now I'm running it with the RS-162 as front L & R in a 5.2 configuration. Currently I'm in the process of saving my nuggets for the HTP-1 processor then I can resubmit another review with a real source
