mono or stereo? (classe or ?)


I have a classe ca-100 ($1500 new) and was wondering if it would be better to buy another one and use them as mono blocks or would my money be better spent on a 2 times more expensive stereo amp (doesn't have to be classe)? My other gear is wadia, thiel, MIT, and a passive preamp. I seriously want to know so any knowlege is appreciated.

If you enjoy your classe, then more power to you. How much is double, $3000? I agree that the kav250 would be a good choice, but for a little bit more, you could look for a used fpb200 or vt100mkII. I was in your exact situation before; you can email me if you want to discuss further.
I have found, in general and at that price level, that if you use a 200w stereo amp, it will sound more effortless than two 100w bridged stereo amps. I bridged two bryston 3b's compared to one 4b and found the above to be true. It all depends on the sound you are trying to attain. Anyone, please correct me if I am misinformed.
