You mean can possibly give you better sound. Its true that the bass amp has to work and the mid-treble amp doesn't need much power. But to get better sound, you need to make sure that the two amps are identical in areas such as speed, pace, etc. Just using two amps does double the power, but that does not improve the loudness (power before distortion) in any meaningful way. It takes ten times the power to play twice as loud. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
