The X250 has been replaced by an update, the 250.5. It's
ability to drive the low impedance of the ML's is about the same.
The .7 ohm figure is not a difficulty, as it occurs up about 15 KHz
or so, where there is very little actual energy, so we don't see
it as a practical problem, as long as an amp is stable into the\
impedance, which the 250 is.

But all the x250's are identical, right? No matter if it's a2001 or 2004 model?No different versions there besides the x250.5?
Maybe some of the members out there know this as well?
Thanks again,

I'm really sorry Kilowattski. This will not happen again. Thanks for showing me my place.
Well just to clarify, there are parts changes made over the
life of an amp, and we tend to incorporate some improvements
in a product before releasing an updated piece without changing
the topology of the circuit. This makes the product incrementally
better or solves problems, and is often a balm to those customers
having purchased a product before a revision is released.
In the case of the X250, the last year's production had improved
transformers, rectifier bridges, and other minor items, but the
overall performance remain distinctly X250. The 250.5 included
actual topology changes to the circuit and also new handles.
