question about the Oddwatt 6BQ5

Actually, at Don Audio, which is likely the German dealer you are referring to, a set of two mono transformer kits is cheaper than the bundle for the Poddwatt. Not sure what the rationale is, but it was already like that when I bought mine and I was happy about it 😀.

I think both variants are fine. With one PT, the case can probably be a bit smaller, but the Hammond I used is spacious for the dual mono approach too. With two PTs, channel separation is probably a bit better.
