- Unlimited power
- More 3D imaging
- More insight
- More control
- Speakers disappear completely
- Higher intelligibility
- Higher level of detail
- Higher refinement
- Same flow and speed
- Longer reverb on guitars and other instruments
- Plays even more effortlessly
- Even tighter bass with more definition
- More body around instruments
You’ll notice it’s a whole laundry list of benefits and it’s the first time we’ve used the cliché the artist is in the room with us, because that’s where it really goes just because the music completely detaches from speakers. Delightful.
Sorry, spelling error in first sentence: “was then” needs to be “was done”.
I would guess that a volume reduction was then when switching from stereo to mono bridged mode, as the switch to bridged induces an extra 6 dB of gain.
I just made the change though from one to two and must admit that exactly the quoted advantages were noticed. Bearing in mind I adjusted the volume with 6 dB between the two modes of course… 😉
I don’t know personally, for this review is done by a collegue. But do know we do normally level the volume.
Hello garmtz,
Nice to hear you hear the same things when connecting two amps. Benchmark amps are truly special. Two of them bring even more to the party. I adjusted the volume and i tried to live with one afterwards but that was a no go.
Enjoy!
