Nick20,
Generally the advice around here when it comes to pairng Emotiva with the M80's errs on the side of caution because of past shutdown issues that some owners have experienced. The Axiom audio specialists will tell you the same thing. They have not been the most reliable unlike a lot of the Denon, HK and Sherwood Newcastle Models which have had very little history of problems with the M80's. Here is a somewhat recent thread of somone using the XPA3 with the m80's :). I am not sure if anyone else uses this amp?
