Sonic benefits:
Transparency
Dynamic Headroom is not jeopardised by either descrepancies of amplifiers or decreased input amplification impedance
Tonal balance
Negatives:
1. 2 cheaper lower powered amps can have more power than one nicer more pricey amp so there are limitation on available options that should IMHO be present in complexed speakers
2. If two amps are absolutely identical, the benefits could be identical to a single amp only with increased power.
3. Y-connector on preamp output may be necessary that decreases an input impedance of amplification again limiting the dynamic headroom.
