If you run a pair of 8 ohm M3s in parallel you'll have an impedance of 4 ohms to the receiver...I'd make sure the Yammy can take a 4 ohm load. I have a VP100 and a 150 connected in parallel (3.43ohms) connected to an HK 635 receiver and have not experienced any problems.

*Seems* like I remember reading that the Yamaha receivers do not do too well with 4 ohm loads but I could be entirely out in left field with my notion.
