Quality of amps in bridged mono ?


Will sound quality be adversely changed when a ss amp is operated in bridged mono?

Amps can apparently be bridged in parallel or series.
This will make a difference in results......but not the fact that generally things go.....downhill.
Some, my old Rotel RB-1070, for example didn't even spec 4ohm stereo power and only listed 8 ohm bridged....apparently no 4ohm loads allowed in bridged mode.
Of course, a speaker with 8ohm 'nominal' can have some severe dips, so you really must be careful.
