That would have been a tough job to do

Holler, congratulations on your good buy on the M80s. I can understand your excitement since I certainly didn't have such excellent speakers when I was a student. However, what you "found" about powering them isn't necessarily correct. Any modern amplifier will work with the M80s; the question is how loud and how long. The typical modern receiver, such as your 304, has significant power capability at 4 ohms, regardless of whether it's officially rated at that impedance. Try it first before you assume that there'll be a problem. You may well find that you have adequate amplification for most(or all)situations. If not, there's plenty of time to think of a future replacement.
-----------------------------------
Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Hey all! Speakers arrived today in great condition. Thankfully he sent them via FedEx because UPS has been absolutely destroying all my packages lately. I have them hooked up to an older Yamaha (HTR-5640 - 75w) and having it running in stereo. I noticed that no sound (or barely any) is coming out of the woofers. Initially I assumed it was a crossover problem, so I disabled the subwoofer and set the main speakers as 'large' and still nothing. Any ideas? Edit: I snapped a quick pick of the M80 and its little brother. A Bose 100 is sitting on the shelf, neglected and replaced.

Holler:
Make sure the two straps that connect the two sets of binding posts are in place!

Barely any? The word "barely" scares me.
Are you sure the music has a bass component to it?
Is the channel level turned up?
Is the bi-amp bar installed on the back of the M80?
Put a 9V battery across the terminals and see if the cones move in and out.

Ah I see, I didn't have the bi-amp bars put in to connect the 2 sets of binding posts.
Just to confirm, should I have a total of 2 bars or 2 for each speaker for a total of 4? Also, what is the proper way to install them?
