I enjoy reading your posts Oz, they are always thorough and full of information.
That is the beauty of having a house with many rooms and different audio/video setups. Below is a dream of mine ;-)
Have M60s in my future home basement (it is a basement I built myself with all acoustic treatment and all) in my all-Axiom HT.
Have M80s in a stereo setup in my living room with my existing Rotel stereo combo. Why not some B&W 703. They sounded so good any time I visited my Rotel dealer, but they cost 3k.
Again, this is just a dream. For now I have to enjoy my nice stereo system and yak HTIB in my one bedroom apartment where I live with my soon-to-be wife.
By the way Oz, if you like a power amp built like a rock, look no further: Rotel.
