So I pulled the trigger on the FO M80s and chose Bill Me Later, which may help keep cash available for all of the other costs when I buy/install the rest of the system. If I could afford everything I would order everything today but this will give me a month or two or three to pay for it all without having my credit cards maxed out, that's not a good thing.

I think I'm going to go with an Emo XPA-2 to start (I was going to go with the XPA-3 but they more or less talked me into the XPA-2 when I called, and I think they have a return policy too). The other option would be to start with the XPA-5, which supposedly is good except the electronic design and parts on the XPA-2 are superior.

I just have to find how long it will take for the Emo to ship because I may want to delay ordering it until the M80s are set to ship, or perhaps not, I could just demo the amp with current speakers and try not to blow them up.
