Monoblocks did not work


Help me with this problem pl. I had one Classe CA-400 driving Dunlavy V'S with all Classe front end. I was very happy with the sound, so happy I refused to upgrade for 3 years. That the power bug hit me. What if I buy another CA-400 and run each as monoblocks. I did, with all other components remaining same( same IC's going to each amp). The result was way worse than expected. Thin , hashy, ambient sound. Power of 800W/ch (into 4 ohms) became 2400 W/ch, still bad sound. What happened? How do I make use of the beast (120lbs) that I have aquired?

Are you sure your interconnects and speaker cables are consistent with vertical bi-amping. I got better sound with the Aloi's at 30 watts than I did with bigger amps. Bi-amping increased the soundstage immensely.
I found vertically Bi-amping to sound better using the Aloia's. It took several calls to get the wiring right so you want to make sure about that.
