Derik, the SC-07 should drive the M80's with no issues. Check out this thread where Peter auditioned an SC-05 with his M80's and had no trouble. The SC-07 of course has more power than the SC-05 so I would say you're fine. The ICE amps in the SC series are amazing performers. BTW, I have the SC-05 with the W series of Axioms.

And as far as liking an Axiom HT, I think you will be thrilled. I haven't posted about it yet, but I just built a much more expensive HT with another speaker brand for my in-laws. While their system sounds great I am starting to realise in particular just how special the QS8's are as surrounds. And those would be combined with the amazing M80's in the setup you're looking at. (full disclosure - I have not heard the M80's myself).

Good luck!
