Pasive Amplification or Monoblocks ????


I have one Pass Aleph 30 and I want to upgrade it.
because I love this amplifier (it is a perfect macht with my Tannoy Loudspeakers) I have two possibilities:
1) go to Pass Aleph 60 Monoblocks
2) buy another Aleph 30 for pasive biamplication (my preamplifier has two balance outputs)
What happen with the power if I add another Pass Aleph 30 ?
I have no experience in pasive biamplification.

Theoretically you add 3db. In practise, passive biamping is an expensive way of driving yr spkrs a little bit better. Ideally, to biamp, you need to do it actively, i.e. have the crossover BEFORE the amps. Maybe Tannoy can help you if you're set on this.
I would just stay as is & enjoy the music or, in extremis and if I were using line sources only, I'd eschew the use of the preamp & opt for a transformer volume control.
