It was a few steps up in soundstage and clarity compared to the Behringer 2500 I was using to power the M80s before. I guess the Karma police has been nice to me. Hope this helps.



That's exactly what Nick at emotiva said...DO NOT run in Bridged Mode and there are no problems, and they can also be stable with dips into 3 ohms. The ones with shutdown issues were run in bridged mode, of course "according to him"
