What brand of AV receiver should I consider to drive the 4-ohm M80 loudspeakers? For rooms up to 4,000 cu. ft in volume (length x width x height), Axiom has found that receivers from:
•Denon, •NAD, •Outlaw Audio, •Sherwood Newcastle, •Harman/Kardon, •Rotel, •B&K, •Pioneer Elite, •high-end Onkyo ($800 and up) •and high-end Yamaha ($1000-plus) are the most stable and will make these speakers sing. Buyers who have "great rooms" or those with cathedral ceilings or who want movie-theater-loud playback levels in such rooms should consider using separate outboard power amplifiers for at least the M80s.
