Hi All,

I ordered a set of M80s last week, after weeks of research and pondering to replace a set of JBL Northridge E100s in my 2-channel setup.

Here's my question:
I use a pair of NAD amps (C370 and C270) in BRIDGED MODE to drive my speakers (300 watt/ch). However, the nature of bridged mode halves the impedance that each amp 'sees', and with the M80, that becomes a very hungry 2-ohm load. My real question is, are the M80 truly 4 ohm loads, and has anyone else done this? The NAD manual recommends against it, saying that the thermal switches might trip at high listening levels.

I'm not sure what to do when the M80s arrive. Super-Don in tech support is asking Ian and Alan, but I wanted to see if the user community has any real-world experience. I can't be the first person to run into this...

Regards to all,
