Here is an amplifier that offers tremendous power and clarity, with an incredible 1 Hz to 650,000 Hz frequency response and the ability to push 250 watts per channel into an 8-ohm load, and doubles that into 4 ohms, while still retaining the capacity to feed 350 watts per channel into a 2-ohm load. Translation: This stereo amplifier will tackle tasks you might have previously only assigned to monoblocks.
