When we say "XYZ receiver will drive M80s no problem" we mean "the receiver will not artificially shut down at low output levels when driving 4 ohm speakers because of protection circuitry or overheating", not "the reciever will drive the M80s to their full potential".

There are a number of receivers out there which seem to run into problems at *lower* SPLs with M80s than they would with M60s or another good 8 ohm speaker. Those are the ones we try to steer people away from...

I guess we could make this more clear, and probably should.
