Alex, no need to guess; the Axiom amplifiers all have a 29dB gain spec(i.e., the incoming voltage is increased about 28 times). Although if different amplifiers are being used it would be desirable to have them be of the same gain so as to keep the front/back balance of the LFR1100s at the intended level, it would be possible to still achieve that balance with amplifiers of different gains if at least one of them had an independent level control which could be adjusted so as maintain the balance despite the different gains(this is adding a complication, of course).
As to whether the amplifiers have to be of identical maximum power output, the answer is no, as Andrew pointed out
here about a year ago.
