The power amplifier is the final component in the signal chain before the loudspeakers. It is the workhorse of a hi-fi system. It takes the low-level signal from the pre-amplifier and converts it to a powerful signal to drive the loudspeakers. It has a low-level input to receive the signal from the preamplifier, and terminals for connecting loudspeaker cables.
Because of the power amplifier's unique function, it differs from other components in size, weight and use. High-quality power amplifiers are usually large and heavy. Moreover, the power amplifier is the component you don't need to touch and adjust. Consequently, power amplifiers are often placed on the floor near the loudspeakers rather than in an equipment rack.
STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER:
A power amplifier with two audio channels (left and right) in one chassis.
MONOBLOCK POWER AMPLIFIER:
A power amplifier with only one audio channel per chassis. Two monoblocks are required for stereo reproduction.

Constellation Audio Reference Series - Hercules II Stereo
|
|
500 watts per channel into 8 ohms:
Our 500-watt/8-ohm per-channel power rating for the Hercules II Stereo is actually pretty conservative; it’s really more like 550 watts. And 750 watts into 4 ohms, and a full 1 kW into 2 ohms. Thanks to its increased power supply capacitance and ample cooling capacity, the Hercules II Stereo drives low-impedance speakers with ease.

Constellation Audio Performance Series - Centaur II Stereo Power Amp
|
|
Centaur II Stereo
A state-of-the-art race car.
New power supply with 3 times the capacitance. Higher bias current for extended Class A operation. 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 800 into 2 ohms. Fully discrete balanced bridged circuitry for extraordinary fidelity. Larger, deep-fin heat sink for efficient cooling and outstanding reliability.
Think of Centaur II as a state-of-the-art race car with an upgraded engine. The amplification circuits are essentially the same as in the original Centaur, but the power supply is radically improved. Supply capacitance is now tripled, with 18 10,000-microfarad capacitors replacing the original six. With three times as much stored energy on tap, Centaur II now achieves even stronger deep bass response and more dramatic dynamics.

Constellation Audio Inspiration Series - Mono 1.0 Power Amplifier
|
|
400 watts per channel into 8 ohms:
The Inspiration Monoblock not only delivers 400 watts into 8 ohms, it doubles that into 4 ohms -- and at a low 0.2% total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N), not the 0.5% or 1% at which many other amps are rated. No matter what speaker you have or how loudly you want to play it, the Inspiration Monoblock can drive it with ease.

Constellation Audio - Inspiration Series - Stereo 1.0 Power Amplifier
|
|
200 watts per channel into 8 ohms:
With power output conservatively rated at 0.2% total harmonic distortion plus noise, doubling to 400 watts into 4 ohms, the Inspiration STEREO 1.0 has enough power to drive practically any speaker to maximum volume without audible distortion.
Balanced bridged design from Hercules and Centaur:
The Inspiration STEREO 1.0 uses a modular, fully balanced design with only N-type output transistors, instead of half N-type and half P-type as found in almost all other solid-state amplifiers. Thus, the positive and negative halves of the audio signal are maintained in ideal balance and the subtlest of musical details are preserved.
