I use PMC IB1 speakers (horizontally) bi-amped by two 4B-SST amplifiers, with the amplifiers' left channels connected to the bass and right channels connected to mid/top of each respective speaker.
Today as an experiment I reconnected the amps in bridged mode, and used a single cable from each amp to connect to the bass terminals on each speaker, which were connected to the mid and top with good quality wire jumpers.
Playing familiar music tracks and listening at my usual volume levels, I was rather surprised to find that the sound was much more detailed and tight, with much greater slam on drums and percussion, and with the performers set in a much improved soundstage. I now hear tiny "sounds-off" which I had not heard previously.
I had expected to hear little or no differences due to the method of connection, since the maximum power available is much the same at 450W per channel @ 4 ohms in normal mode, and 900W in bridged mode. I guess the voltage swing available in bridged mode is twice that of the the individual channels, but since I am listening at the same subjective volume levels would this account for the improvement, or am I deluding myself?
