This is a little off topic, but..
If you have the dough, try and stretch for the Gryphon Colosseum! I have done A/B testing using the Mirage/Antileon Sig and Mirage/Colosseum. First off, both are great, I could live with either. The Colosseum throws a bigger 3D soundstage while giving more focus on the image as well.
The Antilieon Signature is great though. I'd love to own either. I would say it's 90% of the Colosseum at most volume levels/power levels. While the Colosseum is rated at just 160x2 @ 8ohms and the Signature 150x2, a single Colosseum stereo was able to power 2 monster Rockport Arrakis at high volumes and absolutely no compression of any dynamics. Aural memory is short but I vividly remember the amazing bass control on that setup. A single stereo Ant Sig may be stretching it (or maybe not)if it had to do the same work on a pair of Arrakis.
I can go on and on about these two amps... as you can see I'm a big fan.
On the technical issue, I have yet to hear any problems with previous owners as well. Then again I don't know many.
Hope this helps.
