Fred,
What do you mean "in a dual configuration" ? Do you mean wiring them together to get a 4ohm pair? I'd guess the sensitivity for dual M2' would still be 87dB. I'd worry that M80's with 95db, might overpower the dual M2 centers. I guess that is why you said... Check with Alan. :o)
By dual configuration Fred means running them in parallel off the same output which your correct will create a 4ohm load, which my Denon 2807 handles just fine. Typically one would place one speaker above and one below the screen. Some people even do this with 2 VP150s.
Hate to say it but M80s can overpower any center but another M80s. I know that’s why I switched to an M80 center:
A VP150 should keep up with the M80s just fine at reasonable volumes.
Cheers,
Dean
P.S. The answer is no I’m not married.
