Bel Canto evo 2 amp with Paradigm 100's

I have used the EVo 200.2 (precursor to the EVo2) with the Paradigm 80's and loved the combination. The Evo is an awesome amp that does everything well. You should try to stretch the budget for the EVo4 and run it in bridged mode. The already great sound becomes significantly more detailed, with blacker background and a greater sense of 'air.'

Why do you suspect that, KR4?

My experience is limited to the 200.2 and 200.4 (I use evo amps on all 5 channels of my h/t system), but I recently read a review somewhere of the evo4 (4-channel version of the evo2) that said bridging benefitted the sonics far beyond the increase in power output. According to Bel Canto, the only difference between the evo2 and the 200.2 is a larger power transformer.
