Hi Zuruck,

I think you'd be thrilled with the combination of the Axiom M80v3s and your vintage McIntosh MC2100 power amp. Those were built like tanks and so long as it's been kept in good repair, should be excellent. I think the MC2100 has the load-independent auto-formers on the output, so the marriage of the M80s and the McIntosh would be problem-free.

In any case, McIntosh amplifiers have massive power supplies and will not be bothered by the 4-ohm M80 load.

Regards,
Alan
