Once again, it’s got nowt to do with Watts.It was one of the reasons I switched. The 250 struggled to drive Isobariks and was worse with Saras! Sounded nasty at high volume and shut down often. At that time, Naims answer was 135s, double the money for 15 watts more.
Enter the Meridian 105s. 40wpc more than the 250, and a more rounded, musical sound. Never felt any desire to change them.
