Better deal, depends. Not all watts sound alike. 
NAD T973 Power Amp - Power Rating 7x145w or 2x200w
Eandylee, mostly MCH amps in a single chassis using a single, large powersupply do the exact same thing. The available juice is shared between all of the channels. The idea is in home theather you rarely need all channels driven. Most seem to desi...
