Hi,
I need an amplifier with 6 channels. The Emotiva BasX A-700 has 7 channels with 80 watts in 8 ohms. The Dayton Audio APA150 has 2 channels with 75 watts in 4 ohms, bridged 150 watts in 8 ohm (How is that possible? Wouldn't it be 150 watts in 4 ohms?) I could get four of those and use two of them bridged to get more power for the woofers. This is the cheapest option and would be a more appropriate distribution of power to woofers, mids and tweeters. Does anyone have any experience with these amplifiers? Can they even be compared in sound quality?

No. Same load, double voltage, makes double current. 2X Voltage times 2X current would make 4X power--- this is what we generally see in Bridge Mode specs.
Bridging 8 Ohms across two outputs makes 4 Ohms on each output, the outputs combine.
As for specific products and sound quality... no idea.
