Joel, it should be kept in mind that the only way that someone can "give" a speaker more power is to actually give it more power, i.e., make it play louder. A speaker such as the M80s using about 1 watt at a comfortably loud average level isn't being given more power by simply switching from a 5 watt amplifier to a 500 watt amplifier. Beware over-enthusiastic sales pitches.

No, I knew there was wonderful old movie theater in Buffalo and that it hadn't been torn down (as happened in some other cities) but I've never heard the Wurlitzer there.
Thanks for the link.

Regarding sub woofers...is it possible a 1979 sub that claims to go down to 25Hz and has its own separate amp can perform as well as say an EP350 or HSU VTF-1? Or is the technology so much more advanced now that I should not think twice about upgrading? They will compliment my projected purchase of M60v3's.

Hi Captain,
It's possible, but extremely unlikely. Is the sub from a specialty subwoofer manufacturer or is is a home-built job? Is it specified to 25Hz + or - so many dB?
I don't think it would be nearly as linear--as consistent--in its frequency response as an Axiom EP350 or Hsu product. There have been a lot of advances in subwoofer enclosure and driver design since the '70s.

I'll add a suggestion that you seriously consider not limiting yourself to only front speakers. Surround sound creates a greater sense of realism, including 2-channel source materials which have the natural surround ambience contained in the front channels(there was no place else to put it)extracted by processing such as DPLII and sent to the surrounds where it belongs.
Does anyone have any feedback on this comment? It's interesting.

I whole heartedly agree with John. I listen to everything with PLIIx enabled. Makes for a much more realistic (or at least interesting, in the case of electronic music) sound field.
