Bridging amps, Good idea or bad idea?


I own a Cambridge Audio 840W, which can be bridged, which makes each amp a 500w mono block as opposed to a 200w stereo amp. That's 1Kw PER CHANNEL! Are there any downsides to doing this? Will there be added distortion, or will it chnage the sound any negatively? I already high pass my speakers because I use a sub so they only get 80hz+ as it is.

If you search for on-line reviews of Spectron amp owners then, as far as I know, without exceptions - all states theat then they move from stereo mode to monoblock sound quality more then double.

I am also one of these. Spectron attribute this achievment to the proporly build power supplies most of all and high tolerance of its parts. Simon says that when you switch from stereo to mono - you hear practically distortion-free music.... I am not EE, will not argue techno stuff but I know what I hear. Improvments are STUNNING !!!!!!
