I suspect no... I have a big newer Crown CTs 600 (that in the interest of full disclosure, is now for sale as I no longer need it) set up with the mono input panel. These beasts are very powerful and "fast" driving subwoofers and seem to never run out of oomph. There is some sort of dynamic level control that senses when the output stage is getting too close to its safe operating envelope and attenuates the input, but I never sensed any weirdness in the dynamics from that. Would I want one set up for stereo to drive my Thiels? Probably not, I never used it that way. Is it a poor-mans Krell? I don't think so. I do know that used within its capabilities it delivers humongous power for reasonable prices. [Isn't that "to wit:" Socks!]
