Bombaywalla,
Yes you are correct, M525 would not be more inherently nuanced in bridged mode than in standard stereo mode. However, if in bridged mode each chassis is on a lower duty cycle for the Ariel speaker, it is quite possible that the end effect will be... One of enhanced nuance. I already know from eyewitness reports that M525 delivers markedly greater authority in bridged mode than in stereo mode.
From all reports I have heard, M525 do not degrade their performance in any way in bridged mode... That is why Rowland has decided to place an easy to flip selector switch in back of amp.
Rowland specs are extremely conservative and simply do not tell the whole story.... Yes, Rowland has applied M525 bridged to large lower impedance speakers with great results... Sorry I do not remember which ones.
This is not a tribunal... Richard need not justify his audiophilic cravings in front of us *grins!*
I for one am looking forward to hearing Richard's findings... I am following threads to learn more than anything else... Damm the specks... All steam ahead Richard! *Grins!*
FG.
