Using a bridged amp at 8 ohms w/a 4 ohm speaker.


I have a Parasound A 23+ amp and was thinking of using it bridged w/my Aerial CC-3 center speaker. The speaker is 87 db w/a 6 ohm rating dropping to 4 ohms. Parasound says Bridged 4 ohm operation not recommended. What is the specific harm that it does. Is it to the amp or the speaker or both.

+1 for bi-amping this speaker. Power hungry speaker, you'll notice a big improvement in sound. Avoid damage to the amplifier this way.
