On my experience, bridged amplifiers present some real sonic advantages.

First, if you can achieve symmetrical cabling, the rejection remove a lot of unwanted parasitic informations due to ground current leakeages.
Second,, at the same levels, you divide by two the currents from each rail of the power supply, witch is good for dynamic.
Third, the perfectly symetrical function remove some distortions.

The price we pay is a reduced damping factor, that you can cancel with a motional feedback compensation of each loudspeaker driver, witch is a plus, both for linearity of the passive filters, and linearity of the impedance curve, with VERY positive result on the reproduction of instant dynamic details.

Hi Esperado thanks for valueable information
Yes use the same precision ekstern symmetrical wiring as in VSSA module itself i can imagine would benefit the setup.
Last two lines i have not knowledge for understanding at moment, maybe by research later.
But looks like one can bring performance in VSSA even higher with such setup, even if power is not needed.

May-be i will open a topic on this subject, as it seems a lot of people had not experienced (and used) this easy tip to get the best from the best amps ( Vssa being one of them).
It is out of topic here, i think i will open a topic about impedance compensation of loudspeakers.
Just few words about, if L.C. do not disagree.The typical impedance of a moving coil loudspeaker look like this:

IMAGE1%202.GIF


Here, you can see the resonance peak (at 75Hz) , followed by an increase of impedance due mainly to the inductance of the coil. (Little accidents due to membrane fractioning and suspension resonances).
Lot of people know (and use) Zobels in order to flatten the impedance in the treble, canceling the inductance by a parallel network ( simplified datas about this here : TA Speaker Topics - Neutralizing L(e) with a Zobel)
You can achieve the same with the main resonance, by a compensation net work (an inductance+a capacitance+ a resistance in serial, wired in // with the speaker).
Not enough room, here to explain why such a network, because it change the Smalll an Thiele parameters continue to work as well once the speaker is in its enclosure (closed or bass reflex), despite the changes in resonance frequency.
The result can be near flat on the all range of the speaker.
Just to say that it increase a lot the damping of the speakers, and help to calculate the filters, as they are charged to a now flat impedance.
Good for phase response too.
The result for the amp is it has no more to deal with non constant current/voltage ratios. You can achieve this way a near totally flat impedance curve of your enclosures, and an more linear charge for the amplifier.

Hi Christophe, thanks.
My research now unnessesary than you made here vere nice understandable explanation.
with motional feedback compensation I now have new small error in system to try to cancel. If we can hear the timing this error cancel is doing will show, but once again as with other circuits in audio line if not wideband enough we always get the highs shouted out with arrival before lover (here because of higher z=lighter load for amp) + speaker/cabinet resonans a much speedier bass SPIKE.
Is attached picture circuit in the direction to go for motional feedback compensation, because else if the induktor or cap gets active signal trace we also get those 90° fase deviation ?

You must know the L of the speaker and then the easiest way is to use these formulas (you don't need inductor, just R and C):


C=L/RxR (I do not know how to type superscript, therefore RxR)

R=Rdc+Rdc/2

Praxis showed that R must be higher that Rdc of voice coil. If R = Rdc (of voice coil), impedance of speaker flattens at too low value, hence +Rdc/2.

Hi ivanlukic very much thanks for tips.
I guess i also can check/measure reallife result with the DATS unit from Dayton Audio, i bought this device in januar from Intertechnik.de for other purposes with goal for bringing my speaker projekt SQ higher (See Picture for DATS device).
If this unit can inspire others for having big small helper in speaker solution see Dayton Audio website (think the unit is born by John Murphy at TrueAudio and eaylier branded WT3, but now with new software and more purposes, eg making ThieleSmall data on unknown unit).

I was talking of motional feedback compensation, not Zobel (L compensation).
Motional compensation need you measure the -3db frequency points at each side of the resonance peak of the (broke in) speaker.
About Zobel (inductance compensation), it is better to measure too, as Pure L compensation is not flat enough (Eddy currents etc.). Need a more complex circuit than simple rc. Usually an other serial R+C in // with the main C.
But, as i said, it is off topic in this thread, and was just about how to compensate better for not losing damping when bridge operation. Also beneficial, of course with a single mode amplifier.

I prefer the solutions where diy-er does not need expensive lab instruments and complicated measurements, simple working solutions that satisfy diy-ers needs.
Solutions that do not require complex multi element circuits. Zobel inductance compensation (RC) is such circuit. This is because I do not have lab, scope, etc. I believe that many diy-ers do not have lab, so it's pointless to suggest complicated solutions that are possible to only very small number of diy-ers. I am glad that some forum members have good labs and are willing to share some of their experiences and results, but most forum members do not have lab. Most of us are amateurs without lab.
