Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners 4 ohms M80 with Nad T765

I believe those Cantons might also be a 4 ohm speaker which could be stressing the amp some if you're running them as rears with the 80's. My M80's sound nice within the limitations of my Denon, but there's a point where you can hear things start to get a little ragged(loud!)...probably a combination of overpowering the room if not the amp.

Also, try towing the speakers inwards a few degrees to see if that helps. Best advice, Imo, is to listen to them for a couple of weeks to get used to them before you do some serious, critical listening.
