Nice setup you have there Joe. The P500 is another option I am considering at the moment as well. I don't really need and integrated amp like the A500, as I can just use the preouts of my Onkyo 787 into the P500 to drive the M80's.

I am just curious if the P500 will drive the M80's. I'm not looking for mind blowing loudness, just better quality amplification at moderate levels than what I'm getting from my receiver. The P500 seems to be a reasonably priced, quality product.

I think I'll ask Marc if he has tried this setup in his shop and what he thought of it.

Thanks.
