I just checked the specs on the emotiva XPA-1, and in the specifications section they state that 4 ohms is the minimum load recommended. I guess not all monoblocks are the same.
I wasn't suggesting that any stereo amps shouldn't be run in bridged mode, simply pointing out the A21's stated limitations.
And I tried to find the reference to running the Vidars in monoblock with the 4 ohms Magnepans, but can't find it. I'd suggest that one call Schiit and discuss this if that's the goal. But for sure it would be fine as a stereo amp, but then it's only 100 wpc.
