Historically, Emo has been hit or miss when driving the m80's. I think the recent models of amps from them have been more reliable. What receiver are you using and are you sure you need an amp?
I haven't purchased anything yet, just researching equipment for a new living room HT I am throwing together within the next few months. I have always used all in one receivers (usually Denon), but I want to try seperates this time around. I keep reading the sound is usually much more detailed.
Right now I am playing around with getting an emotiva setup (the UPA-7 and their pre/pro once it comes out), a high end reciever like a Denon 4308CI, or maybe going all out and picking up axioms 8 channel amp.
The room I am setting up is only 1300 cubic feet. The other options is not need all this extra power, and just pair up the UPA-7 with m60's, vp150, QS8s, and forget about the M80s.
