Does bridging give you the monoblock sound??


I have a Parasound HCA 1500a which is rated at 205wpc @ 8 ohms. I'm considering buying a second one and running them in bridged mode which will give me 630 wpc @ 8 ohms. Will this have the same effect as using actual monoblocks? From what I've read is that the major plus that monoblocks offer is imaging. That's what I'm striving for,,,,,,,,,,,pinpoint imaging. I know that there are a lot of other things that contribute to good imaging but I'm just curious about this aspect of it.

Whether you want it or not in bridged mode you have a case with cancellation of out of phase signals. If amps are dual-monos than more-likely you would want to vertically biamp.
