Bridged dual mono connections

The 851W features Mono and Bridged Mono settings that allow two (or
more) 851Ws to be used as mono-blocs for high end systems. Below is
an example using two 851W's in Bridged Mono with an 851E.
In Bridged Mono mode each 851W drives one speaker across its output
channels acting as a 500W mono amplifier instead of a 200wpc stereo
one. One 851W drives the left speaker and the other the right.
Note: Unbalanced connections can also be used.
