Default PS question...

I am building two pairs of ZV4 amplifiers for use in an active set up with the option of configuring them into balanced monoblocks....

I have two 1kVA transformers, each with dual 39V secondaries and a single 10V sec(I'll use that to power a ramp up circuit, or something).

Should I use each 39V secondary per channel...IOW two unregulated power supplies from one transformer... or parallel the secondaries into one unregulated PS with double current and split the resulting output to each respective channel?

also, I have a pair of large(14awg) 2mh inductors, if the better option is a single unregulated supply for two channels I could include a pi filter ...would a pi filter be of any real value in this application since the ZV4 already has a well regulated PS?

Sorry if my syntax causes confusion...I'm having trouble articulating myself today...lack of sleep...yawn.

Thanks...
