Why does my Adcom GFA-2535 blow fuses?

I'm trying to run an NHT AudioCenter 1 with the B side of an Adcom GFA-2535. It runs fine on just one side, but when I bridge it, one or both of the internal fuses blow after just a few seconds. It's an 8 ohm speaker, and is hooked up as stated in the manual. Any suggestions???

Bridging the amp means that the 8 ohm speaker (is it really 8 ohms) looks like a 4 ohm load to each side of the stereo amp. This ought to be OK.

Are you sure the speakers are 8 ohms?
Are you sure the fuses are the correct value?
