Classe CA-100 stereo vs bridged


I currently own (1) CA-100 in stereo mode. Was thinking of getting a second one and bridging it.

My questions are:

1) Will there be any sonic degradation?
2) Will the input sensitivity change?
3) Will driing a 8 ohm speaker that has a 6 ohm minimum be a problem?
4)

Okay, I'm confused(nothing unusual). What does having to reduce my volume control have anything to do with sensitivity when the amp is now producing, real world, probably three times as much power at the same setting? Won't an amp making three times as much power produce at least 4-5 db more spl at the same volume setting with the 'same' sensitivity? I ask because I'm running my Acoustats in mono and am curious as to why exactly I have to turn up my self powered sub woofers substantially to eq the system as opposed to using them in stereo.

Thank you, Al

BTW, No degradation. Rather, an improvement. 2nd order harmonics are eliminated, way more dynamic, faster.
