True with RARE exception.

the complaints I'm aware of deal with quality of sound which is apparently lacking in a bridged amp.

From what I've seen, Especially with certain listeners, they vastly over estimate how much power they need.

Even my very Low sensitivty panels probably don't use more than 4 or 5 continueous with 10x peaks even when I'm trying to annoy the neighbors. I could probably be happy with my Aspirational amp, the Pass Labs.....XA30.5 which has nearly 6db headroom against the rating.

It cracks me up when somebody had 95db sensitive speakers and 'needs' 600 watts. Makes little or no sense, especially from a 'system' viewpoint.
