Do you mind explaining why the XPA-5 doesn't work well with the M80's? And what 2-channel amp would you recommend that would go well with the M80's?


Escaron,

Some Emotiva models have been known to shut down and go into protect mode with the M80's, I am not sure if the xpa-5 is one of those models. I know there are happy Emotiva/Axiom owners out there.
