Default Thoughts about the US Amps (Merlin) MD42........

I am in the position to grab on of these amps for a pretty decent price. I am on a strict budget and want to improve on the sound quality and power of the stock ML system in the car. I want the back bone of my system to be the headunit and the amps. I feel that the speakers can always be upgraded if the amp is good enough. I don't need to be heard coming down the street, but I want whatever amp I choose, I want to have 95-140 watts RMS per channel @ 4 ohms. I have a few speakers in mind, but they are well outside of my budget, but I still want to have a decent 4 channel to push and be able to push whatever I put in it in the future. I want the mid basses to have the ability to grab those voices. Sound Quality in number 1 in my book followed by power.

System to date and still building:
Eclipse AVN6620 (sitting in dining room)
20 Farad Power Acoustik digital capacitor
Autotek XS 550.2 (Stealth Series)
Elemental Design 11OV.2 10' Subwoofer (installed into the rear deck; being removed and placed into a custom box to fit my trunk very soon)

A few possible speakers that I want to install in the future, not sure of ones to buy now:
Seas mid bass spekaers with quality speakers and crossover
Dynaudio mid bases with quality speakers and crossover
Focal Utopia components
Kicker SS series components

Thanks for the help and the suggestions. If I am going about this completely wrong, please voice your opinion. I have tough skin. Thanks people for the help.
