I agree with your comments. I was a little concerned that my new Onkyo would have "issues" driving my M80s, but was/ am plannig on getting seperate amps, so this was not a factor in the purchase of the Onkyo.

Thus far, I have had NO issues driving the M80s at however loud for however long that I want. Maybe I'm just lucky or maybe my Onkyo is just one of the good ones or maybe its amp design has been improved. I don't know but I sure am pleased with the Onkyo.
