Using 2 amps as monoblocks

I have been using an acurus A100x3 amp for the past 4 years and overall have been very happy with the performance. Unlike many other posts, I have not found the amp too bright. However, I am interested in improving bass extension and depth of soundstage. Would using two acurus A100x3 amps as monoblocks be helpful? I use my system for 2 channel music 80% of the time.

My system for stereo: Marantz SA-8260 CD/SACD
Denon 4802 AVR (used as preamp for stereo)
Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 transport
Monitor Audio Gold 20s main speakers
Acurus A100x3
Harmonic Technology speaker cables
Echobusters

Thanks, Rob

Thanks guys. I appreciate you taking the time to advise me. Aedv8sc, thanks for educating me on vertical bi-amping. Will experiment. Bbaxley2, I have auditioned several preamps in my system and have not observed improvement in sonics yet...but will continue exploring! Do believe there is a definite psychological drive in Hi-Fi audio pursuits.....need to trust your ears and your ears ONLY!

Bbaxley2,
Not fun trusting ears??!! I don't get it....what else matters? Your wallet is not an indicator of sonic quality. What you hear is all that matters.
