do bridged amps give the same sound as non bridged

i am looking into getting a rotel amp for my paradigm studio 60 v.2 speakers. i am looking at the RB-976 which is 60wx6 or 130wx3 bridged. i am just learning about using separates, but does bridgeibng the amp sacrifice anything? can i except this amp to sound as good as rotel's 130wx2ch amp? sound the same?

Bridging means that each side sees a low impedance, 4 ohms if your speaker is 8 ohms. 2 ohms if it is a 4 ohm speaker.
I note that amp distortion specs usually increase for lower impedance loads.
