Stock answers to stock questions are not going to help the op.
Much of the disdain for bridging comes from an erroneous view that the two channels must be perfectly matched for gain. They don’t.
The answer is always amp and implementation dependent but in general the advantages of bridging are:
- cancels out even harmonics the harmonics of bad sound
- improves power supply noise rejection
- reduces impact of signal modulation of the power supply
- reduces non linearity from large voltage swings (distortion)
And yes as noted their are downsides but it is not a slam dunk that it sounds worse.
