Mono block or bi-amp

This may be a silly question, but can someone shed light on the pros and cons of both hook ups?
i presently use a Bryston 4b st amp to drive Magnepan 1.6 speakers. Would it be better to purchase another 4B st or two mono blocks? Will I hear a sonic difference?
 Thanks

*It it is my understanding that the Bryston amp can be bridged."

If it can be bridged, it is very unlikely that it can be used with the Magnepan 1.6. As a general rule, a bridged amp requires a speaker with 8 ohms minimum even if it can drive 4 ohms in stereo mode.
