Here's another internet direct company that has a magnificent performance/value reputation. I'm probably going to get the following for the 30 day trial:

Has anyone else tried the Decware amps with M80s (or any Axiom for that matter)?

I don't think I'm *too* worried that this wouldn't be a great match. I am interested in knowing if the bass characteristics would change much. Judging from my solid state amp's power meters, I usually drive the M80s with less than half a watt! The M80 efficiency is impressive; my other speakers are Magnepan and they are only 86db efficient, if that.
