Isn't using 120 watts @8 ohm to drive 250 watt @ 8 ohm speakers like using a vw engine in a suburban? Maybe I am too new to this. It seems to me that it would be more efficient to use a 120 watt receiver to power M2i as opposed to M60.

I'll use 120 and 240 watts (just to make the mental calculations easier)... say the 120W receiver has to run at 10% of capacity to get a good listening level - the 240W amp would be running at 5% of capacity.
