Titan, welcome. It's highly probable that your 445 would drive the M80s as loudly as you want(or would be safe for your hearing), but just about any amplifier's maximum power capability can be exceeded if someone would use an extremely loud average listening level with program material that has a very wide dynamic range.

Rick, your discussion of the difference between the 1 watt and 2.83 volt measuring standards when a 4ohm load is involved is correct, of course, but as Jason mentioned I've assumed that since Axiom specifically said 1 watt that they meant that rather than 2.83 volts. You're right that the possible difference has apparently never been discussed.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
