RE: "There is almost never a good reason to bridge in home audio"...

The NAD 2200 that he mentioned is 100 per channel or 200 Watts total. It can handle loads only as low as four ohms in stereo.

When bridged it is 400 Watts total or twice the 200 when stereo. That's a 3db difference in total power. It can also only drive a load as low as eight ohms when bridged. It will run hotter bridged.

We have no idea what the connection scenario is because the OP didn't say. A sub? Teo subs? Single or dual VC? Mono center channel?
