Glad to hear that you are enjoying them. I remember my first couple of songs buzzing through them and it really was incredible. I have a couple very capable amps/receivers to use with my 80's but my only AVR is an old Sony ES1000. I have had no issues with shutdown or anything that I notice as distortion at very high SPL's. Note my room is not very large so the amp section doesn't have to work all that hard as the M80's are very efficient. I hope your new Emotiva works well for you. I looked on the sight and it is really a nice looking piece. Keep enjoying your new speakers and be sure to let us know how everything works out when your amp comes. Have fun.
