I was contemplating bridging my 27.5 for a center channel and using the 23.5 for L & R. I am hoping that there is no degredation in bridged mode. I know some amplifiers, Bryston 4BST for example, come alive when bridged and some don't. Just curious since I'm going to do it anyway. It is a bit of an undertaking so I wanted to be sure I wasn't wasting my time. I will post my findings.
