Well the road to separates has begun. Hooked these puppies up over the weekend, and the M80's sang like never before with my onkyo 787 just as a pre/pro. Liked it so much, picked up 2 larger MA700's (300W 4ohms) to run the M80's, and will have the MA500's run the M50's, VP100, and M2i's in surround.

Now the quest is to ditch the 787, and try and find a suitable HT surround sound processor. Not much selection out there though, basically comes down to Rotel 1066, Outlaw 950, and perhaps a Marantz AV9000 tossed in for good measure.
