In a somewhat analogous situation, I ran a pair of Hafler DH-220s bridged into a pair of Acoustat 1+1 and RHLabs sub. I thought it sounded fine until someone smarter than me pointed out that the amps were likely quite unstable in that configuration. So as an experiment, I switched them out of bridged mode and used only one channel of each amp to drive the speakers.
I could not believe my ears at the improvement! Even with "less" power the sound was much better, more cohesive top to the now much better bottom. Others here have explained it better than I could but the bottom line is, I have practical experience to say that bridged is NOT the way to go in a low ohm situation.
Happy Listening!
