What a load of crap from Emotiva. \:\(

"They don't pair well with M80's."

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Sounds to me like they're just lying about the specs of their amps. Pure and simple. If the specs state it's 4-ohm capable, it better reliably power 4-ohm speakers, period.

It still blows my mind that my lowly $499 LPA-1 has no trouble at all with my M80's, when all of their 'high-end' amps can't do the job.

I'm just one insignificant customer, but I'm now seriously rethinking my preorder of the UMC.
