Bryston amps Bridged3B's or 4B?

I currently have a 3BST that I like a lot. However I need more power. Has anyone had the experience of comparing a pair of bridged 3B's to a 4B?

If you bridge then each amp sees half the load which can mean excessive current demand for the all too common low impedance speakers sold today. Another issue can be DC offset. Both these issues can make the amp run very hot... What speakers are you driving?

There's a lot of expert Bryston knowledge there--and probably someone who's tried just what you're asking about.
