Thanks for the input guys. Looks like my new speakers will be limited to Newer Klipshes & Or Paradigms then. Or Maybe a "Big O' Mac" will be in my future as well, LOL. I'll hate having to get rid of the 7100 it's really a nice sounding\looking amp.
Yeah, The Book on My Rotel RB 976 states that when bridged do not connect anything less than a 8Ohm load as well.
Kzelin: your right about these amp ratings. I've only seen a couple that claim to have ratings down to 2ohms and they were from Mega-buck Comapanies like Krell, Sunfire, and I think Mark Livengston (sp?). It's hard to beleive how people are getting power to such speakers like ML's which are known to get as low as 1ohm for the highs.
I guess I'll hang onto the MC7100 to try on whatever speakers I chose, as JCBtubes suggested. But, I'll always keep notes of what the dealers were powering My final speaker candidates with.
