VAC 301 versus VAC 200 as monoblocks


Has anybody compared VAC Phi 301 stereo with two VAC Phi 200 as monoblocks?

I have a large room with 87 db Avalons and like to listen to full orchestral music.

AMR CD 77 as source
Music First Audio (silver wire) TVC as preamp
Cardas IC's and speaker cables (tri-wired)
If it is the older cardas their cables are for sure on the warm side of nuetral.
Franzschubert, why not go 300.1 mono? CA is cool and dry so heat shouldn't be an issue :-)
That would also be my recommendation. FWIW, the heat is really not as bad as I thought it would be from a pair of 300.1s.
