It is POSSIBLE that you might be better served by a PAIR of the A23 as biamp IF your speakers support this configuration.
Going forward, a line level crossover between amp and pre will net you as much as another 3db, this OVER what a single A21 will drive.
The pair of '23 nets about 500$ against the '21, at least at list price.
The 'depends on' list includes if your speakers can be biamped, how difficult it would eventually be to remove the speaker level crossover AND the proposed crossover frequencies / slopes.
Both the '21 and '23 have loop out function where a single ended connection goes to an amp, and loops over to the 2nd channel. So you DO NOT NEED splitters and the possible impedance issues. The P5 preamp in single ended has a very low output impedance of about 100 ohms, so that may be a moot point.
And finally, to gain the last Nth of sound quality from EITHER amp? Remove the level pot and replace with high-quality film resistors. They should total the 100k of the original part.
Too much is never enough
