Hi doormat...the 2200's are indeed a significant upgrade to the 3805 when it comes to higher volume levels. The output is cleaner, tighter, and although I didn't expect it, bass is increased and "punchier" with the M80's. The 2200's have never shut down.
The downside (although minor because I rarely do this) is that I can get the 2200's to clip at extreme levels (110 - 120dbs at about 10ft, bass clips when set to large), and have gotten them toasty to the touch. But... never a shutdown in nearly 3 years.
