Intergrated or Solid State Whats The Difference ?

And there are stereo amps and mono block amps. Stereo amps have two amplifiers contained in one chassis, one for each of the left and right channels. Monoblocks essentially split the chassis in two so that there is a physically seperated chassis, one for for each channel. Both of these configurations come in both tube and solid state versions, and, as, Avguygeorge states above, in varying amounts of power outputs. One hopefullly chooses an amp(s), regardless of configurations, that have sufficient power to meet the requirements of the connected speakers.
