Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners M80's on the way, need advice...please

You guys know the usual rule of thumb is 150% for 4 ohm so the 200 into 8 ohms is about 300 into 4 ohms.

Personally I would still try the Emotiva's, as there are many on their froum running the XPA series of amps with M80s and have had no problems what so ever. I suspect SatKartr's issue has to do with his Yamaha 663 as the preamp, he has popping/crackling issues with it when running the M80s on it's own and I suspect this distorted signal from it was the cause of the XPA-2 shutdown.

I also have had my eye on those M2200 outlaws, I would love 3 of them for the LCR in my system.
