Cary V12R - is it "bridgeable"?

i am pleased with my new Cary V12R power amp, but have been wondering if i can "bridge" it and use it as a monoblock. i could then go out on the 'gon and get another V12R, and bridge that one also. i thought this would be a more cost effective option than selling the amp and buying a new pair of V12 monoblocks, which i rarely see on audiogon.

i looked all over the Cary website and also in my V12R owners manual, but could not find any info on this topic.

thanks!

Hello Rob, call Kevin, he'll take care of you, maybe better than calling direct to Cary. Or you could just cut out that step & go right to the 805 monos :) Btw, the tubes arrived as promised thanks.

How about Cary's recommendation; tweeters/mid on triode, woofers on ultra-linear in a verticle bi-amp scenario. Better than the mono-block according to Cary.

another option that i had been considering was a move to the AES Six Pac. word on the street is that they are simply a monoblock version of the V12R.

anyone ever had the opportunity to compare the V12R to the Six Pac?
