classe cav-75 bridged into 4 ohms?


Hello all,
I am contemplating bridging four of the cav-75's six channels into two (150w) channels to drive some power hungry 4 ohm speakers. has anyone done this before? comments? thanks,mike

I would be very careful and make sure that you can bridge 4 ohm's some amps are only suited to bridge 8 ohm loads.
That would mean a 2ohm load for each of those channels. Is the CAV-75 stable and capable at 2ohms? The specs seem to only refer to 8ohm loads.

I ran one like that to some Martin Logans (theater/center and aerius i's) and it sounded fine. I have a large room and never ran out of power. Its not as nice a a good 2 channel amp but for the price you can't beat the options of 3 through 6 channels. I sold a ca300 thinking that I could use the 75 bridged. Big mistake as The sound was several steps below that of the 2 channel amps. What speakers are you running?
i'm planning to get some maggie 1.6's. i've used the cav-75 in normal, unbridged, 8 ohm environment and it sounded awesome. has anyone used this amp with a 4 ohm load? if this doesn't seem like its going to work...i'll guess i can sell the amp... any sugesstions for a 2-channel amp for maggie 1.6's or a pair of mono's?
thx
