Can I Use One Channel Of A Stereo Power Amp?


Does anyone know of a high power (300 wpc or so) stereo power amp that can be run using only one channel?
What I want to do is use a pair of these to power 3 front speakers. The high power multi-channel amps are out of my price range. Thanks.

I agree on the single mono amp. Another alternative is a lower power amp that is bridgeable to provide 300 watts. Just be aware that many amps are not happy driving loads below 8 ohms when bridged, so make sure that either the amp chosen is capable of driving lower impedance loads, or the speaker impedance does not dip much below 8 ohms.
