they are having their 4th of july sale until the 18th, for 500$ for a 300W at 4ohm 3 channel that might be a good idea.

more, but its 500W at 4ohms.

you will NOT get better sound quality, but it will enable you to play louder and when watching a movie the extra power will help with the sudden loud parts of the movie.

i have m60's and use to have a 135w per channel amp, and during movies that amp would be driven into clipping from time to time, with more powerful amps i don't have that problem anymore.


For the money and esp. now that they are on sale the XPA-3 is a good deal .

I am currently waiting for my M80's but it drives my VP180 with no issues with lots of head room.
