Are marantz power amps any good?


I want to step up to a power amp and was wondering g if the marantz power amps are worth it? I love the sound of their avr's , but the power amps seem low on specs , is there more too it than wattage ? Do they provide tons of current , and if so what makes a 300 watt per channel amp better than this one ?

In the mid to late 90s, I had the pleasure of owning 4ea of the MA-22 class AB mono power amps.  They were awesome.  I liked them so much, I later upgraded them to 4ea of the MA-24 which were 30w class A units.  These sounded very good but truth be told, while I loved the physical design the MA-22 units actually sounded somewhat better driving my bi-amped Martin Logan Quests.
