Monoblocus is an high-end mono amplifier, capable of delivering up to 45W to 4Ohm loads and up to 29W to 8Ohm loads. This amplifier has a muting on power-off function, that mutes it once the same is turned off. For that, it uses an optocoupler, a TLP521-1. This makes this project very unique and quite interesting. Note that this project is not recommended to beginners, since it uses the mains. The project eventually can be adapted to work with 115V~: all you need to do is to use a 120VA transformer suitable for 115V~, and a proper primary fuse (the secondary fuses won't change).
