@wid: could you provide a link to the Hsu VTF 2.3? I can't seem to find that model on the HSU website. I appreciate your help. Your recommendation is similar to my initial desires. The M80 might be too much for me... I don't plan on blowing the roof off my house. I am solely after the best sound quality and something that I will be happy to build upon rather than replace.

@mojo: It would be a crying shame to blow a new Onkyo because it couldn't push the M80's. If I'm playing at moderate levels anyway, would the M60 serve me well? I've heard it has comparible mids to the M80's and possibly a more accurate treble. Thoughts?

@kcarlile: what would You do? I feel there's 2 sides to this argument, both with very valid arguments. Thoughts?

Thanks guys!
