Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Pioneer Elite Receiver capable of driving M80s?

If you're only playing into the mid-80 dB range, and sitting 10' away, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I plan on getting M80s and running them from my current receiver which has a slightly lesser amp section than yours. Plus I tend to hit the mid-90s (at 7.5 feet). I have no worries about this receiver.

Go ahead and keep using the M80s. Just use your head. If you're at -3 dB on the volume control, you're probably too loud. But -18 or -15, you've not pushing anything unreasonable.
