The M80s will play louder than the M5s. But you may find positioning them in the room is a challenge and you may not be able to get them to acoustically disappear.

With that amp and subs, I can't see a benefit with M60s. M60s may be a detriment actually for the same reasons as M80s.

The M5s would sound terrific with as many subs as you want. I've used them with up to 7 subs. Fantastic!

The M5s are far less prone to position error than the larger Axioms. They are as refined as the M100 and active LFR and far easier to succeed with quickly.
