Classe CA-100 stereo vs bridged

I cant find my own thread :(

I'm thinking the answer to questions 1, 2, and 3 would be "no", however, I have no idea for question 4.

What speakers are you using? Do they need the extra power?

edit: 3) Will driving a 8 ohm speaker that has a 6 ohm minimum impedance be a problem?

Speaker = http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Jenzen-NEXT.htm with woofer http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Jenzen-CA_files/CA26RFX.pdf which is a option for the design.

Lets save question 4 for later :)

During my loudest listening sessions, I am measuring 95-97db with 106-109db peaks. Its taking about all of the 100 watts I have to get to this level. Its doesnt sound clipped at this level, but there is a hint of strain.

I dont want the xtra power to go louder than this, rather be able to accommodate this level with more headroom and ease for the amp.

I definitely think you would benefit from the extra power, and don't see a problem running the amp mono with your speakers. You can download an owners manual and spec sheet here,

A power rating is listed for 4 ohms in mono, so that implies it is acceptable, and a 4 ohm speaker would drop below that. Some of the power ratings in the manual and color spec sheet seem a little confusing, may be peak power. The white spec sheet seems to be the most logical for RMS power.

Yes, the 600w 4 ohm mono rating is a bit suspect, but irrelevant in my case since my impedance low is about 6 ohms.

Thanks for the replies.

Id still like to hear from others as well if anyone has some input.
