Re: Stereo vs bridged mono
Actually you are not looking at the specs close enough.
Since an amp in bridged mode is essentially having each side of the amp drive a 2 ohm load. OS if you look at the 2 ohm rating in stereo-it is the same 1% THD.
And if you look at the 8 ohm bridged mode you will see that it is rated at 0.1%THD-the same as when driving a 4 ohm load per channel.
So I don't see anything in the specs that would make me say that running a bridged amp has a higher distortion than stereo.
Now if you are going to compare the same impedance-then you ALSO need to compare at the same output power. Yet the bridged output is over 3 times the stereo output. If we were to turn down the bridged output to the same level-the distortion should go down. ( I can't say for sure on that particular amp).
So you have to compare apples to apples.
But I do agree that the THD in most cases is nothing to "get you panties in a wad" about.
