This is why I cringe when I see folks on here telling people"yeah that receiver will drive those 80's no problem" this is ill advised for MOST Avr's.



I agree and maybe we should be qualifying these kinds of statements with quantitative results based on our own experience. Something like "My room is 4000 cubic feet, very live, I sit 8 feet away from my M80s and during music I achieve an SPL of 80 dB with less than one watt input per channel using the Denon AVR2105 which is rated a clean 90W into 8 Ohms.".
