It is a fantastic setup - one I am aiming towards. How does 250 drive Q3's? Do you think a mono setup will make it fly?

Thank you all for your kind comments!
I have been using this setup since 2011 when I had the fortune to receive one of the first Q3 delivered in Scandinavia ( I live in Sweden). I have previously owned a lot of good speakers ( working in the audio business do this to you), and normally they have stayed for about three years before they have been exchanged into a new model. But this is not the case with the Q3 - it is a keeper!
The D250 was originally a D-Premiere bought in May 2011 and upgraded to D240/250 in March 2014.
My room is "L" shaped with a total area of 30sq meters (approximatel 300sq feet). I have never felt the need for a more powerful amplifier since the introduction of SAM last year - but since I have owned several big mono amplifiers throughout the years, the urge for a mono amplifier solution is there from time to time? - but there is no actual need for more power. But from what I have understood from reading some of the comments elsewhere in this forum, there are more than power to expect from a D800 combo. I tried the D-Premiere/D500 combo but did not experience an improvement motivating the investment at that time.
I play a varity of music - from big symphonic pieces to solo instruments, opera, electronica, classic hard rock, blues - pretty much everything as long as it is good music. This put high expectations on a music system but I can honestly say that I believe my combination live up to the challenge. I see myself as a lucky guy in that remark!

PS. I include a picture taken at the 2011 Gothenburg Hifi-Show showing my actual pair of Q3's ( thank you myhighend) DS.
I understand. And look forward to hear the outcome of mono setup as Mikeo suggested. Anyway, excellent setup regardless of mono.
