I have auditioned the Audiopax Model 88 and Stereo 88 with the Merlin TSM-MX speakers and they were fantastic - particularly the Model 88 monoblocks. As a fellow Audiogoner has advised me, I think it is important to have a relatively high gain pre-amp when using the Audiopax amps. I was listening with the Audiopax Model 5 which I believe has about 22-23db gain but you can find pres with higher gain than this. 30 watts however was more than sufficient IMHO.
