That concept works for a non bridged amp configuration, it won't work for a bridged amplifier. Do note that when you do that, you are taking L&R channels and subtracting them, when you take L&R channels and add them you get mono. Subtraction gives you only the ambience information. That is the good news, the bad news it also gives you all the noise, clicks, pops, and other nasties sometimes found on vinyl. If you are going strictly digital, then this may not matter at all.
Hafler effect setup - any concerns for a "ParasoundZonemaster2350" p-amp (or in general)
I have recently come across information on the web about the "Hafler effect" for creating a "studio" or "live venue" sound from a 2 channel system (such as most of us have). Basically it is implementing a third speaker located behind and centre of listening position with one speaker cable connected to + (red) of front left and one speaker cable connected to + (red) of front right going to the rear centre speaker + (red) and - (black). (** at least this is my interpretation/understanding of it **).
My question is, is this a dangerous set-up for my "Parasound Zonemaster2350" power amp? I have read that it can be catastrophic for bridged amp's and, my limited knowledge of bridged setups (which is none), I'm not sure if this would be safe to attempt. I have reached out to "Parasound" for their advice but pretty sure they will blanket statement recommend against so as not to take any responsibility, but who knows, maybe not.
Thanks in advance to all who reply,
much appreciated
