b&k st 1400 or b&k st 125.2


Or neither? Asking prices are: st 1400 ($240) used, st 125.2 ($300) new demo from a dealer. Main use will be center channel, or possibly front right and left for movie playback and I'll bridge my classe ca-150 and power the center with that. What do you guys think? I'm open to suggestions on another budget ($300 or less) amp also. Thanks in advance!!

Bdgregory, thanks for the helpful input! I never even thought about how the b&k was going to match up with the classe even though that should have been something to think about. I'm thinking that the b&k might be a warmer, sweeter sound which I was actually excited about so I could compare a different amp in my system and see if I liked it better than the classe. Hmm, now you've got me thinking though.

Another question for you is why would you recommend that I don't bridge the classe?

Anyways, thanks again for the help! I appreciate it!
I did try it. I could only listen to one channel as I only have one amp but it sounded way better bridged. So much so that I want another ca-150 to run my center channel during movies and then in bridged mode for two channel listening. I was just curious if you were thinking that bridging an amp was bad for it because of impedence and heating issues etc. What's your take? Thanks by the way!
