Would require a new board design I think. The speaker minus is common for the two channels today so full dual mono in one box similar to monoblocks would be four amps in one chassis.

I also realise I didn’t read the linked articles, I assumed the new model was something groundbreaking - dual mono in single box - but it’s actually just a cheaper lower powered 440.
So the 440s will probably be devalued now as there’s a lower entry point into dual mono.
The others are probably firmware power updates but as usual the 250 will be stuck at 250.

I have to wonder just who determines which Experts get which numbers... The *ONLY* thing that makes sense so far is 440=220+220.
The other thing that's strange in that link is that the pic of the 250 Pro is of a dual-mono system - likely a 1000 Pro.

Am I reading this right, the 210 costs more than the 220, and has the drawback of being in two boxes and no upgrade path?
Was 210 chosen as it's less than 220, or is it a thermal or power supply limitation?
Who thinks the 130 upgrades with new firmware?

Also, the 140 seems to be about 1000€/$/CHF cheaper than the 130, I wonder why that is?
