Thanks for the comments Alan (also Sirquack), but $4k for an amp is out of my budget at the moment. However, I do have in mind that if one A2 is not enough, then down the road I will pick up another used A2 so that I can bi-amp each one of them as a mono block to the M80.

Hey, I wondering why couldn't Axiom makes some 200/300watt (8/4ohm) mono amp for around $500-600 each. I would definitely be a customer to that. Seems to me that the current Axiom amp cost about $500 per channel assuming the labor is free :-)
