Hi again (am I the only person who reads the ICE section??...) I need to figure out whether I'm gonna get a 4 channel amp or a 6 channel amp. The amps in question are McIntosh's (see post below). I intend to have components up front and either one or two 8" subs. What's the best way to do this? Should I simply get a 6 and use one channel per speaker, or could I do the same job just as well with 4 channels? I don't know much about 'bridging', etc. but most folks seem to have 4-channel amps and be just fine. Cheers! Sally
