Oh hell no. This is a Dual-mono class AB amp. Dual-mono in this case means each channel are running its own components and don't share anything between channels except probably the power supply. What this means to purists is clean clear sound without any possibility of distortion from shared components and crosstalk etc. It's subjectable whether you can really hear the differences but this Genesis is one underrated amp. It gives out way more power than the rated power. It's a good amp, except you need to have lots of luck not to buy a damaged unit. These amps are quite old but I guess if the amp is always powered and used, then it's ok. If it's in the store room for a long time you better 'run it in' slowly and properly.
