100v mono blocks in series on 200v w/o transformer

I am going to purchase a pair of 100 v mono blocks but my mains voltage is 200v. I want to avoid the 200v-100v step down transformer.

Can i just wire the power of the mono blocks in series and put them to 200v?

They sould be of simliar resistance so that should do right?

Anyone tried?

The amplifiers may have a 110V to 220V jumper around the power supply transformer. A lot of manufacturers build in the ability to run their products all over the world. Take it to a technician or an authorized dealer. It may be a simple service to convert it to the 230(?) volts where you live.
