Well,

Thanks for the response and advice. Hmmmm, too many options. I hadn't really planned on going with the M80s. I do not have the room to justify, nor do I plan on it in the near future. I am aware of the auto-equalization feature downfall. I also think it takes some of the funn out of tweaking on your own. On an more serious note - I hadn't thought about running 4 ohm loads at this point for two reasons: I don't have the room, and I don't have the funds. I was looking at integrated receivers with pre-amp capabilities so that later on, when I do have the room and the cash, I can upgrade speakers and slap on another, more suitable amp to run larger speakers. So, I am planning of getting the M60s, then getting a HSU sub for now. Does this sound rational? Any other thoughts? Thanks again.
