I'm curious to know why the Emotiva wouldn't be able to handle pushing the M80s... and it "sounds" like quite a few are doubtful (maybe?) that the Emotiva will be sufficient?
What is the recommendation of choice then? is it still two monoblocks (outlaw audio)?
My home theatre will be up and running soon and I'd like to get the most out of the epic80 and the ep800. I know I've asked the question in the past and that's what most suggested (2x outlaw audio mono200) but the was 2years ago... wondering if it's still the way to go.
Emotiva's have been known to have issues with a few M80s, inparticular the XPA-2; the XPA-3 and 5 appear to work well, not sure why the difference.
You can also look at pro audio DJ amps the only downfall are some have noisy fans or lack RCA inputs. The majority that go this route use Behringer, QSC to name a couple.
