Bryston Cubed Amps in Bridge Mode


Does anyone have experience running the Bryston 3B3 or 4B3 in bridged pairs? Advantages or disadvantages over Stereo mode? Did the 3B3 in bridge mode equal or surpass the 4B3 in Stereo mode? Thanks

With most bridged amplifiers, distortion goes up and the ability to drive lower impedance goes down. Who wants that?

The exceptions are amplifiers that "bridge" by paralleling outputs, such the McIntosh MC75. But even then, some users say it sounds better in stereo.
