More power

I'll defer to our residentf expert on the technology, but in my experience budget PA amps fail at driving home high fidelity speakers. Why? Noise.

These amps have active cooling, as in fans. Let them idle and they get hot enough for fans. Push them hard and they get hot. They just suck in that area. The other noise is the residual noise. Every one I have experience with generates quite a hiss in the speakers. That' fine in a pa setup, but for a quiet home theater it is very off putting.

I wouldn't recommend it, even though I haven' used that model.
 
Stay away from PA amps at all costs, and especially stay away from Behringer.

Power wise, that's just a bit over 3dB and that difference is just audible. Frankly, I wouldn't waste my time or money if you aren't clipping your current amp.
