Thnx for all the quick replies. Couple more questions. How does the EP500 compare to subs from SVS, specifically something like the PC12-Plus or the PC13-Ultra (seems like they're are all relatively close in price). Also, how do people feel about NAD C270/272 amps for use with the M80's if I was to go that route. Seems like they can be bought used for around $400-500. I've never had any experience with separate amps and was wondering how safe would it be buying one used vs new and if it would even make a significant difference over just the Denon alone. The only reason I would consider a separate amp is to take the load off the Denon for driving the 4ohm fronts since it's not really designed for that (as far as I can tell they only mentione 8/6ohm ratings in the manual). I don't want to damage any of my speakers or the reciever itself and it seems safer to pay the extra money for a separate amp for at least 2 channels.
