I was starting to worry about the M80 being too big too, so I called Axiom and talked to J.C. He said given the size of my room I could definitely go bigger than M60s. I'm not sure I mentioned my sitting 13' away. I'm still a little nervous about the M80 though, but that's countered by my always wanting a pair. Your experience chesseroo swings it back a little. If you find your post I'd definitely be interested; I'll be poking around too.
Given the feedback I've started to swing to the LFR660's again. (There's about 8 swings remaining!) I'm just not crazy about double the cost. And the set-up: I already have wires running for a standard pair, but I'd have to run two more lines and set up the amp 6 feet away from my receiver and run those wires for the omnis. Not only am I very lazy, but I can't be crawling around on the floor and in the basement right now. So I'd have to tell my wife that I'm just setting the amp up in the living room "for a bit to test them out", and see how long I could get away with that. Also, she wants to get a cat, which I've been fending off; but if there's an amp in the living room I'll be helping to name a new friend.
Here is the link to my short review. It was back in 2017.

This is a personal question only answered by oneself and one's glaring spouse.
Second, the setup takes much more space. We just bought a new media console and i'm pretty certain it wouldn't have enough space for the extra amps and DSP required along with what we have there already. As it is, i'm looking for a new pre-pro and amp for the main floor as well and a new AVR for the media room. If i spent more $$ on electronics than a new car in a year, i'm not sure i could live with myself. Then there's more cables but that's relatively minor compared to having to add in all the extra electronics somewhere.
