Those damn Brits

........sigh...................
For a few years I've been using a pair of PS Audio 250 Delta monoblocks (250w each) with a pair of Mirage M3si. Always sounded great! Great bass, smooth mids, decent high end, focused, powerful.... All this time, a pair of Meridian 105 monoblocks (100w each) have been sitting in their boxes. I took them out recently to make sure they worked as I am planning to use them in the surround system. Wouldn't you know it... sweeter, more liquid vocals, more overall warmth, damn good bass.... all this from a pair of 26 year old amps... what's a guy to do? I don't know if these amps have the necessary current for day-to-day ops on the M3si....

These are excellant amps. Capaciters don't like to sit unused and there can be some degradation but if you like how they sound then go for it. Also, don't be so worried about power. If your speakers are not clipping then this might not be too mush of a worry.

I would, however, not leave them on unattended until you are sure they won't overheat.

British equipment is incredible. I also have a Meridian 201 preamp, 602 transport and 606 D/A converter. They are not only great sounding, but also beautiful designs. Oh yeah... also a pair of Cyrus 781 speakers. And a Rega Planar turntable. If I had the $$$$ to buy a 598 DVD player, I would not hesitate.
