You should not have to crank it up. Even with M3v4, M50v4, M5s or bookshelf M2v4s with no sub in my 4200 cu.ft. space, I get satisfying warmth compared to my old M80v2.
Easy stuff out of the way first. If you have dual binding posts, are the shorting bars installed? Are the M80s configured in the Denon setup to play full range? Are they set to 6 Ohms (not 4 Ohms)?
Your room and how the M80s are laid out relative to it and your listening position, have a lot to do with the soundstage, imaging and bass performance. So does the relative deadness of your room.
How big is your room and where are the M80s located relative to you and the room boundaries (front and side walls)?
What do you hear different when Audyssey is engaged?
Have you tried tweaking the EQ?
