This is from the thread about M80s and 400 watt max.

I just read the article by Alan he says "The lesson in all this is that you can never have too much power , and that big amplifiers rarely damage speakers. Little amplifiers driven into clipping burn out speakers. In the scheme of high fidelity, that last barrier to realism is having enough power and being able to approximate real-life loudness levels"

I don't plan on getting an amp that puts out 400 watts, but close! Adcom GFA 7707 is what I've been looking at.

thanks for all your replies!
