Do Bridged Accuphase Amps Sound Better?

Hi,

I have a P-1000 stereo amp, and was wondering whether getting a second one playing both bridged would give me more satisfaction. I have heard that bridging may produce negative effects, but does Accuphase fall into this camp? I hope that anyone with experience in this can shed some light. Thx.

G4ronliu you are a lucky guy. The P-1000 is a terrific amp.
It's a powerhouse, it's a beast in terms of current delivery. It can drive, almost, every speaker.
If you want more power try the new P-7000 or the monoblocks M-8000, if the budget can strech this far.
I fell in love with this brand when I heard a Accuphase set up, with this amps, with Avalon speakers and the sound was just...... so good. How does it sound in your set up.

no bridging is summing the two outputs and adding twice the amount of noise

More power ?
For what ?
the P-1000 is great, and powerful.
Well, I've got the P-7000, the recent evolution of the P-1000, which sounds quite the same : wonderful !

I would have two mono Accuphase only with difficult HP to drive, like Magneplanar (and alike) in a big room.
With dynamic speakers, no need.
