Blackie, I just threw that 2500 test link in at no extra charge because there's been some discussion about Yamaha and other receivers as to how well they drive 4 ohm speakers(such as the M80s, if you would decide to get them instead of the M60s, which are 8 ohms). A 4 ohm speaker has lower impedance and allows more current to flow, which in extreme cases could cause amplifiers to start to overheat; their protective circuits would then shut them down. The link shows that when they tested the 2500 into a 4 ohm load it had power outputs in the area of 200 watts, which is more than it's likely would ever be used in the typical home setup.

Yes, order from the outlet with confidence; most of us who've done that have had a hard time finding the slight cosmetic blemishes said to be present.
