My understanding is that bridged mode the SQ is not as good as stereo or mono. I agree with getting a better preamp and suggest for the same price as a C2850 you can get a good used Audio Research Ref. 5se, 6 or Ref 10. AR and Accuphase sound great together and the only reason I went with a Ref 3 is I couldn't afford the 5,se,6 or 10.
