I had dual 2.5B3 amps. I found it was hard to find any specs into 4 ohms on them or any Brystons running bridged. Research threads into bridging and they will discuss the downsides of this. Using Revel 228 Be speakers, which have 2 pairs of binding posts, I found I much preferred running them non-bridged either in a vertical or horizontal biamp configuration. Bridging them did not add any beneficial sound quality and in some cases sounded worse. If you think you need 3-400 watts per channel, I would buy the bigger stereo amplifier.

@jimmy2615 What benefits did you find running the amps vertically biamped? When you vertically biamped, did you use shorter cables between the amp and the speaker? I tried (for a short listening session) my amp (not Bryston) bridged last night and did not find it sounded better, in fact, it seemed the bass was less defined. As many others, I thought more watts would sound better. I am going to try again this weekend. I suspect the damping factor was the reason. |
