Classe CA-100 stereo vs bridged

I'm thinking the answer to questions 1, 2, and 3 would be "no", however, I have no idea for question 4.

What speakers are you using? Do they need the extra power?

edit: 3) Will driving a 8 ohm speaker that has a 6 ohm minimum impedance be a problem?

Speaker = http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Jenzen-NEXT.htm with woofer http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Jenzen-CA_files/CA26RFX.pdf which is a option for the design.

Lets save question 4 for later :)

During my loudest listening sessions, I am measuring 95-97db with 106-109db peaks. Its taking about all of the 100 watts I have to get to this level. Its doesnt sound clipped at this level, but there is a hint of strain.

I dont want the xtra power to go louder than this, rather be able to accommodate this level with more headroom and ease for the amp.

I definitely think you would benefit from the extra power, and don't see a problem running the amp mono with your speakers. You can download an owners manual and spec sheet here,

A power rating is listed for 4 ohms in mono, so that implies it is acceptable, and a 4 ohm speaker would drop below that. Some of the power ratings in the manual and color spec sheet seem a little confusing, may be peak power. The white spec sheet seems to be the most logical for RMS power.

Yes, the 600w 4 ohm mono rating is a bit suspect, but irrelevant in my case since my impedance low is about 6 ohms.

Thanks for the replies.

Id still like to hear from others as well if anyone has some input.

That 600W 4 ohm mono rating has to be peak power. What sane person needs 600W continuous in a home environment anyway? I've known of a few people who have run bridged pairs of various Classé amps, and had no complaints about performance. The company has not been known for inflating power ratings. In reviews their products have always met or surpassed published output specifications on the test bench. If they say their amp does 4 ohms bridged, I trust them.
