Hi everyone,
I have a nad 3150 integated amplifier which sounds great to my ears and has sufficient power for my Kef LS50's. It has dual power supplies so in effect a dual mono amplifier (?!).
My question is, apart from headroom, would I get an increase in sound quality if I invested in a nad 2150 power amplifier and brigded both amplifiers. Empirically it would be suck it and see I guess, what about theoretically?
Thanks in advance

Bridging is going in the wrong direction for low impedance loads. A minimum 3.5R for a nominal 8R speaker is quite normal now, as the defined minimum impedance reference point is generally ignored. More likely, modern speakers, even 8R rated types will use drivers with a compromise of 6R impedance, as do AV multi-box systems which are by far the most common box speaker products out there.
You may be hoping for an audible benefit to using less appropriate speaker impedances but I think that will remain something for your ears (and wallet
