Adding a second MC275 VI, is it worth it?

Dear Audiogon,

I currently use a MC275 Vi, which I love (pushing Verity Parsifal Encores), but I would like more power. This is in part, because I have children, and I often have to listen to music at lower levels. In a perfect world, I would order MC2301, but those run approx. 20k, and that isn't happening any time soon. My question is, how much difference would a second 275 make? Also, I have been told that because the 275 is at its essence a stereo amp, they are not ideal candidates for mono blocks. Thank you all in advance for your comments.

Hi Erick,
As mentioned I have 2 275's driving only my mid/twitters of my RS 1B's. Jumping from one MC 275 to two was a difference. It did provide a bit more power but I was surprised how powerful only one 275 was!!! Yes a difference but not a major one. However, I think you will see (hear) more because: as I said I only use the Mac's for mid/high sections AND I listen at a normal to low volume.
So...go for the two!!! :)
