I'm gathering parts for a M2x and was planning on using 2 SMPS for the PSU. My idea would be 2 SMPS per channel, on a separate case for the PSU, connecting to each of the monoblocks with XLR cables carrying +,0,-.
In reality, would I notice using a linear PSU instead?
I don't have any experience with linear PSUs but I came by a very good deal on transfomers that I believe I can get ta linear PSU put together by not much more than the design explained above with SMPS.
If so, would a SINGLE 280VA Toroidal Power Transformer 115 Primary & Dual 28V Secondary work for ONE channel of the M2x? It sounds to me yes, but I wanted some confirmation. I need to act quick and really don't have the time in the next few days for the researching and learning on the subject.
Thanks!

Sorry, obviously didn’t see this before today...
Your SMPS idea should work fine. Probably want to use a different (bigger) connector than an XLR for the currents involved, but that’s minor. Also want to have the smps on a common switch so they turn on and off at the same time.
A 200va dual 18 or 20v transformer (not 28) will be great for a single channel. 280va would run a stereo amp.
