Thanks Jason, I might actually take you up on that, however, I have to say I maintain a great deal of skepticism about it being the M80s, I mean Axiom wasn't born yesterday even if these particular speakers were, and would probably test those last.

I'm more concerned that there could be something wrong with my setup or electrical system that is causing the amps to fail at high volumes, and if I try something like Outlaw I would find myself in the same lower mansion of hell.

A straightforward approach would be to go ahead and order a 3808 so I could know where I stand but that would be a costly option if I continue to pursue an HT build involving separate power amplification, I'm still stuck on that idea so I hate to rule it out just yet.
