2nd amp or one bigger amp?


Hello to all,
I was a happy owner of a CJ MV-55 amp. I recenty purchased a pair of Martin Logan Sequel IIs from here (A-gon) and things were great. The combanation sounded very nice at lower volumes considering I lived in an apartment. I recently moved into a house and I can play much louder :) BUT the MV-55 does not have enough juice to do that at 45W/channel. Should I consider a second MV-55 for a monoblock operation or sell the MV-55 and get a Premier 11? I'm very tight on budget at this time and the 12s are way over my budget. any advise is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Keep in mind that if you biamp, you will have to match the impedance and output levels of the amps if they are of different types/models. In your instance with a tight budget, I would go for one larger amp. The 11 is a fair choice.
