Bridged amps


Is there any advantage to using two bridged power amps with a preamp and tuner, besides the increase in available power per channel ?

Wow, they look very much like the Forte I used to have, to me the only real musical Klipsch made.
Your Quartets you have from what I saw on the net are 97.5 dB efficiency. I think a great sounding good priced amp for those, if you don’t want to cause ear bleed is a $799 Class-A linear Schiit Aegir power amp, and you can trial them for 14 days.

Just get a better "stereo amp" with the wattage you need without having to compromise it by bridging it.
And if you can't afford that kind of amp for your speakers that may need it, get rid of the speakers.

If you have two amp the same your far better off vertically bi-amping

If dissimilar amps are use they need to be horizontally bi-amped with a simple passive ($49 Schiit Sys) volume on the input of the louder amp so both amp can be level matched.
