In Reply to: Most times, if a stereo or multi-channel amp is bridgeable, there will be posted by Opus 33 1/3 on February 12, 2015 at 05:58:24:
When you bridge two channels into one, that channel "sees" only one half the actual load impedance of the speaker attached to it. So, an 8-Ohm speaker is seen as a 4-Ohm load and a 4-Ohm speaker a 2-Ohm load. Not many amps are happy seeing 2-Ohm loads, so it's usually best to use 8-Ohm speakers with a bridged amplifier.
