mono or stereo? (classe or ?)


I have a classe ca-100 ($1500 new) and was wondering if it would be better to buy another one and use them as mono blocks or would my money be better spent on a 2 times more expensive stereo amp (doesn't have to be classe)? My other gear is wadia, thiel, MIT, and a passive preamp. I seriously want to know so any knowlege is appreciated.

Monoblocks do have advantages. If you are in love with the sound of the Classe, I say go for it. If you aren't, try the Krell KAV-250a. There are several rave reviews, the most recent in "The Perfect Vision" (they used music to judge this amp).
I was referring to the one Krell amp. Like I said, monoblocks do have advantages. I've not heard two of your amps as monoblocks directly compaired with mine, but I did compare mine to Musical Fidelity XA-200 monoblocks, and it easily beat them in every performance aspect. It would only cost you $500 more than $1500. Good luck.
