Hey Chad,

Welcome! JohnK and Bridgman have pretty much summed it up...when people are looking at M80's, which are 4ohm speakers, Axiom usually recommends Denon or HK or Seperates(amps and tuners) that can handle the low ohm speakers. Since your looking at M60 mains, you really have a lot of choices. I decided on Denon, but Pioneer Elite, Onkyo, Yamaha, and HK were next in line. The Axiom speakers you have selected are very efficient and easy to drive. I'm not sure how much your looking to spend, but there are a lot of great receivers out there. I like looking for receivers that are "Full Bandwidth Rated" or "High Current models" Some lower priced receivers are not rated with all channels driven for the entire bandwidth of frequencies. I can't believe you've never heard of Denon or Harmon Kardon, wow!

good luck
