You don't provide a whole lot of information but ya might otta get a little more power in a receiver (unless it's a Tube) that is. Tomtuttle is in the Tacoma area and will probably enjoy helping you out. Try sending him a personal message. Thanks Tom

1) How big is your room?
2) what other speakers are you intending to drive M2's to M80's or maybe even something else?
3) What kind of music/HT to you intend to listen to and at what sound pressure level (Db)?

Bottom line, "buy the biggest amp you can afford" While you will probably not need all the power to listen to music/HT at levels you like, a low power amp/receiver will "clip" the sound signals and cause distortion and can even damage your speakers.

BTW, to send a private message, simply find a post by that person and 'click' on the identifier (some have pictures some don't) and you can see more info about that poster. At the bottom, you can 'click' on "send a private message".
