All three claim 130 wpc rms. My speakers are M80's, V150 and M22's, with a mixed bag for surrounds. Right now I use the Onkyo 807 to run my 7.1 set-up with the front pre-out's to the Rotel 1070 to power the M80's. With the power output being so close is this a waste of an amp? The Onkyo 805 will be used to run a 3.1 set-up using the M22's. My current sub, a Polk Audio 505, will stay with the M22's. I'm trying to decide between the EP800 or two EP500 to go with the M80's. Any thoughts on mixing or matching things better/differently?

Thanks


Outlaw Audio is selling the LFM-1EX on sale for $549 till next week. You could get 4 of those which will spank a single EP800 and give you smoother bass all around.
