Default Mc7106

I have used mine to drive Infinity RS-IIa speakers which dip well into the 2 ohm region. Honestly, it never mattered enough if I bridged them or not. I believe it is rated at 100WPC at 8 ohms, 160WPC at 4 ohms. (300WPC bridges at 8 ohms). I have not found a bridged rating into 4 ohms...

No doubt it’d sound different Bridged.

From there it’s your taste.
For sure, was just curious from a technical "let's not blow the amp" perspective.

Thanks, good to know! I won't be so paranoid running bridged then.

It’s a Mc - you ain’t gonna blow it up!

My buddy Mike has one and uses it with his k-horns, prefers it to his MC2205s ...
