Well, I listened and watched my Pioneer VSX 1015 and my 5 speaker Axiom system with the M80's all weekend, and had no problems.

No dropped audio, no receiver shutting down.

And, I played the system at what I would consider my maximum listening level. I DID NOT try to entertain the entire neighborhood with my system.

Now, the M80's were Bi-amped, and that might make a difference. Also, I used 10 guage Belden Cable, so there was very little extra resistance via the cable.

So, I hope that this info helps some people decide on the M60's vs the M80's.
