It would.I saw that it is possible to connect one 48v power supply to 2 monoblocks with a splitter cable. Will it reduce the power of both amps?

Just read this from the company in their message to me when the amp was sent:
"We'll provide a bundle including two V3 mono amps and a 48V/10A psu for no more than 260USD. That single 48V/10A psu can power the two sets of v3 mono simultaneously."
You can never have too many amplifiers.
Well, that's not true. I have too many. Don't be like me. But I will say these little high performing things would be really easy to smuggle in to the house and hide wherever you wanted...
I see the opamps are swapable. However, it doesn’t look like there is enough space for the boutique discrete opamps that audiophiles believe influence sound quality.
The distance between source and speakers always remains the same, with or without monobloc, if you want to shorten the power cables you will have to lengthen the signal cables and vice versa, no free lunch. Between the two options I prefer to have longer speaker cables than signal cables.
As far as I'm concerned, the advantage of monoblocks is the elimination of crosstalk
Just realised why I need a DAC with XLR outputs. My SMSL SU-1 has an output voltage of 2, compared to the 2.8 I'd need to run this to max power..
Not if the 48V wire is long enough - or extended to be.This would defeat the purpose of mono blocks which is being able to keep them close to speakers with shorter speaker wire.
Not if the PSU with double the current capacity (10A) is used.I saw that it is possible to connect one 48v power supply to 2 monoblocks with a splitter cable. Will it reduce the power of both amps?

In any case, I'd rather have longer speaker wire, with shorter low voltage interconnect.
I know I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this. But here goes, these amps are great, no doubt and an excellent value. But what is the deal with external power supply? And what is the deal with that cute little miniature size form factor, is it meant to be a desktop amp?
Can't we just put two of these mono and their power supply into one case? Who started this silly trend? It screams dorm room HiFi component.
How do 2 of these compare with stereo balanced amplifier, Topping PA5 II (about US$250 now)?
In other words, which is the better option, for which use case.
Thanks.
