    Bryston Cubed Amps in Bridge Mode

    Does anyone have experience running the Bryston 3B3 or 4B3 in bridged pairs?

    Advantages or disadvantages over Stereo mode?
    Did the 3B3 in bridge mode equal or surpass the 4B3 in Stereo mode?

    Thanks

    I've bridged a 4b3 to my center channel a handful of years. Works great.

    But if you're going to buy a pair of them, you're likely better off with 7b3s, or if you can swing it the 28b3. I had the 28's before downsizing my house & gear. They're fantastic

    Definitely go with a pair of 7B3 over a bridged pair of 4B3. The cost is exactly the same and the 7B amplifier can deliver 690W continuously into a 2 ohm load. I purchased a pair of 7B3 about six years ago and plan to keep them until they are no longer functional, which I hope is at least another 20 years.
