Using a UK Denon amp in the US

Just brought 2 Denon PMA 250SE amps from the UK to the US and neither of them are working. Power light is on when I connect them to the socket through a standard travel converter.

As I am TOTALLY ignorant of all things electrical, could this be anything to do with the power supply being different....or are my speakers broken?

Thanks

Most Disappointing Interview Q/A of the Week

From the August issue of Wired magazine:

Question: OK, let's talk tips. What's your home music setup? How do you keep all the wires and cords to a minimum?

Martha Stewart: I live in an old house with no closets and no built-ins. I hate big cupboards. So, where do you put your stereos and all that the stuff? The solution is easy: Put an iPod in each room like in a drawer. Add wireless speakers and the sound system disappears into the room. It's so simple and you don't have to buy all that crap. You know how many years of crap I had?

My first entry in this blog, six weeks ago to the day, was a news flash that Sonny Rollins, the greatest living improviser in jazz, will play at Carnegie Hall on Sept. 18 in a trio with the monumental drummer Roy Haynes and the agile bassist Christian McBride—a one-night stand that no jazz fan could stand missing.
