Hello EastCoast. I can't comment on your VP150 question as I don't own one but I have a 7 channel amp with a simliar power rating to your Emotiva. It has no trouble driving my power hungry LFR1100v4's to an SPL that would frighten Ted Nugent so I agree that your're amp will be fine. Also, If it was my money I would definitely still go for the M80's. In your room and with your amp there will most likely be more sonic benefits than just more bass.
