Well, for the first thing, the NAD would be used as an amp (assuming it has inputs that go directly to the amp section, bypassing the pre-amp section). The volume control would be on the Yamaha.
Right, sorry that makes sense.
Now another question, and pardon my ignorance:
Would bi-ampliication have any role in this case?
I'm beginning to worry that the NAD wont handle the M80's either...it's rated as only 60W per channel at 8ohm, and 190W IHF dynamic power at 4 ohm...whatever that means
