That 600W 4 ohm mono rating has to be peak power. What sane person needs 600W continuous in a home environment anyway? I've known of a few people who have run bridged pairs of various Classé amps, and had no complaints about performance. The company has not been known for inflating power ratings. In reviews their products have always met or surpassed published output specifications on the test bench. If they say their amp does 4 ohms bridged, I trust them.
