whats up KC,i have the m80s and i also have a nad 2200 amp,when hooked up together they sound incredible,right now for home theater i am using a 5 chan marantz,and the nad sounds better. i am going to get the 918 thx for the m 80s(when i get some spare money)., good luck with your choice...the nad-m80 combo will give you a great solid full range and do it crystal clear.the m 80s are like going to buy a 2500 dollar pair of speakers-and your good friend offers to pay for most of it.....yup,there that good.good luck ron
