I just bought the M60s (they should arrive Wed.). I will have to connect them to an old receiver (Onkyo TX-830) as finances permit at this time. It works very well and puts out 60 W/ch at 8 Ohms. Will I need to get better receiver to get the most out of the M60s? FYI, I do not plan to use for home theater at all (that is another story)
Thanks for the advice

I'd say no. When you want to get a new receiver, and as finances permit, go for it. But you should get excellent sound from the M60s with any working, reasonable quality receiver.

The M60s are efficient (sensitive) speakers, and 60W/ch is plenty, unless you are listening at unusually loud volumes in a very large room. I don't see any reasons for the Onkyo receiver not to perform adequately for the M60s.

Your Onkyo should work fine. Could you get better performance from a higher end receiver/amp? Yes. But you're Onkyo will perform just fine.
Enjoy your new speakers!
