GS, welcome. "Believe me", or "I think" can't overcome the solid evidence of the measured curve which Rick showed. This was made not by SoundStage itself, but by the NRC(National Research Council of Canada), one of the world's most highly respected independent audio testing organizations. The M80s can be driven to beyond safe listening levels by your 3808 and similar units.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
