hahaha Thanks for makes me more anxious.. See I was looking into other receiver brands before I made the Marantz purchase as I have always been a fan of Yamaha but seeing the marantz had the preouts I jumped on it not taking into consideration of the S/N ratio, THD specs or even the Rms power outputs per channel I understand they're a major key when purchasing a receiver but looked past that because I knew I would be running an amp. I will set everything up when the M100 arrive and take a deep listen, now my concern is that I might only be able to give the M100 3" from the front wall but as I understand if I crossover at 80hz it shouldnt pose to much of an issue, is that correct?
