One Amp Stereo versus Two Amps Mono


A buddy of mine and I, (junior level audiophiles) would appreciate some insight into this one. Currently have one hundred Watt Classe 101 Apmplifier. Looking into going to 200 Watts and don't know the features/benefits of getting another Classe 101 and dedicating one to each speaker, or to sell the 101 and get the 201 model which is 200 watts per channel, (8 ohms).

Thanks

There are a few distinct advantages for having Mono's.One is there is no interference or crosstalk. The other is that it allows for independance in drriving a channel.

I am getting a set of Mono's and will probably get another set to Horizontally amp my speakers.Which allows for more effecientcy of power distribution. I think this allows for less distortion and less heat .Heat is the eneemy of all electronics.

That is not to say that Stereo Amps are any worst at giving a good musical performance. If the design sucks then having Mono's will not make the amps perform any better to give a pleasing musical performance

Hop that helps!
