Luxman M-900U in bridged mono or McIntosh MC1.25kw with B&W 800 D3


Hello,

 

I'm not trying to open a debate about which brand is best. 

I would like an honest opinion about what's the best combination, if possible from someone who really tried both amplifiers with B&W 800D3. 

Thank you.

Bridging an amplifier increases power into the one channel but it also increases distortion and reduces the ability to drive low impedance loads. I don't think it's ever the preferred solution.

I think that the sound of the Luxman and the Mc are so different you should listen for yourself, because you are going to come out of it with a strong opinion.

Pretty much this. 

I agree with bridged amplifiers usually not sounding as good as stereo ones.

 

Unfortunately I can't audition the McIntosh MC1.25kw, that's why I'm asking for an opinion from someone who might have compared both.
