What's your oppinion on bridging two channel amps?


I've been reading on the web about bridging two channel amps and it seems that some people believe it isn't a benefit. I've noticed that most manufacturers say that you should only use an 8 ohm speaker when bridging, but don't most speakers dip below 8 ohms? It probably varies from amp to amp on the benefits, but I was looking into purchasing a rotel rb980bx to use for a center channel amp and it has the capability to be bridged but some people said the sound was worse, just louder. What do you think about bridging my classe ca-150 for center channel duties and using a b&k st125.2 for front right and left channels? Thanks guys!

P.S. one of these days I'll quit posting new threads all the time, it's just that I know you guys (and gals) are experts. I really appreciate all the help and knowledge I've obtained from everyone out there. I'd be so much further behind if it weren't for you. Thanks.

In regards to your Classe, both my 300 and 400 sound better bridged. As far as speaker loads go, they work fine with my Thiel 7.2 and 3.5 .
You may find that your Classe runs hotter bridged, but that would be normal for Classe.
