Krell FPB600 can it be bridge to mono

Why not stick with Aestetix all around? My personal experience is fairly limited, but my local shop carries the full Focal Utopia lineup and the last time I stopped by they has Asthetix gear to go with them. Having said that, I was never that impressed with the combo but was always blown alway with Krell amps with the Focals.

All the amps that I know that have been bridged, you gain big time in rms wattage, but loose out also big time on damping factor (bass control)

Do you really need that much power? How hard are youe speakers to drive.

Since the FPB-600 has balanced outputs, it cannot be bridged. From the manual:

The differential circuitry employed within the Full Power Balanced amplifiers requires special attention when connecting speakers. Be careful not to connect the negative speaker terminals together. Do not connect the negative speaker terminals to ground, or attempt to bridge the left and right channels together....

Al what's your explanation to how the Krell amps maintain class a all the time? How would it know a transient is coming to switch it to a higher mode? The guy from Gryphon says dagostino is full of it. Maybe he's jealous I don't know.
