Is it possible to combine multiple amplifiers to get higher power?

[QUOTE="Paul Lewendon, post: 216833, member: 13612"] I would expect that the output would have to match in just the right way so that it's working unison, otherwise it would be "fighting" the other amp. I would not attempt it, too risky in the unknowns. That would be an expensive experiment if it didn't work and damaged any of the units in the equation. I'm basing this on the same concept of power supplies. To have 2 D.C. power supplies in series or parallel to have more combined output voltage or amps for example, they would have to be exact to each other exact same voltage, current, waveform, etc,, otherwise one is trying to compensate for the other, and it ends up being unbalanced, at least that's what I found out when researching on that particular instance of power supplies. I may be wrong about the amplifiers, it's just a theory, your best bet is ask the manufacturer, they'll give you a definitive answer. [/QUOTE]
