Is it good to drive the magnepan 3.6?


I have 2 classe Twenty-Five power amp, and I just purchased a pair of Magnepan Speakers: model 3.6 and its rate is 4 Ohms speaker. I was wondering, if I "bridged" my power amp to function as "monoblocks" to drive a pair of magnepan 3.6. Will it cause the amplifier to "see" a 2-ohm load? Does that stress the amplifier's current capacity and will the amp be overheated?

Here is the power amp's rated output:
Rated Output :
8 Ohms Stereo: 250 Watts
4 Ohms Stereo: 500 Watts
8 Ohms Mono: 1000 Watts
4 Ohms Mono: 1600 watts

I don't have that much of experience on this audio system, so can any one give me some advice , please e-mail me.
Thank You

Hello Herman,

Spectron was the only one in this thread who answered or tried to answer the questions posed by Vinhd.

He also expressed some irone in old expression that "amplifier see...." Amplifier does not have glasses to see and must obey Ohm law as each and every one must.

and word "voltage" really means difference in electical potential and as you pointed out in your example if at one end there is 8 volts across 4 Ohm load and on another also 8 volts then total DIFFERENE in electroncal potential is 8+8 and rest you can count.

Can you can add something to the questions posed in this thread - we all would love to hear it. Otherwise its kindergarten.
