Apparently the TFM-15CB can be used for Bridged Stereo operation. How is that different than Bi-Amping, or are they one and the same?

Looking at line item #2 in the addendum and assuming Amp #1 on top, #2 on bottom, to which Amp are the speakers connected?

Lyman, I am soooo sorry. I thought your preamp basically had the same provisions as my C-16.
Well that just shot my plans for you. DAMNIT ! >:( I apologize again Lyman.

Sincerely, BILL

Best,

Okay...good to go. I've got these two TFM-15CB's bridged. Loud. Very loud.   :o

One amp is driving the left speaker, the other the right. Given that, why are both meters on both amps showing output?

What this the total output, btw? (8 Ohms)

Thanks for everyone's help with this, btw   :)

Yeah, very loud....   ;)

Both meters are working in harmony...registering the output on 1 channel/amp. Output at 4 ohm resistence is 140/channel.....I can't remember the math, but I'm sure someone will chime in.
IN REALITY IT ONLY MATTERS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE TO YOU!!!!!

Both meters will fly even though the right signal is off.  The RMS power is 280 in 8 ohms. Kingman nailed it.

Bridging is not all that. It raises the noise floor and lessens the damping factor.
