Richard,
First we've got to make sure that the author's speakers are bi-wirable. Second we need to know what kind of speakers are we talking about that even Bryston 4b-st doesn't have enough current to swing a woofer(is it some 1000W woofer??)
7b-st as suggested by Ozzfly is basically the same thing as 4b-st but made as a pure monoblock and certainly sounds better than bridged pair of 4b-st. Thus in the case with Bryston and with most brands it's much better to go for dedicated monoblocks instead of using bridged pair.
And at last the question:
If I have amp 1W/ch and I want to use a bridged pair will I add 3dB to the volume?
I guess not! The whole different issue when you double 250W/ch or 200W/ch isn't it?
