But will my H/K AVR635 drive the M80? Or am I looking at a receiver purchase as well? HG Cherry M80's, QS8's, VP150, and a pair of EP500's

Although I'm using a Rotel amp to drive our 80s I've had the 635 drive 'em pretty hard at times, also the 635 is driving our VP100 and 150 in parallel for a load of 3.43 ohms without a problem. Oh yea ... congrats on the new digs, I bet they are going to look awesome! Rick Our Room

Thanks for the input. Well I've priced this out...Using the free HG Cherry upgrade and the tradup program. I could trade in my Bosten Cherry M22's, VP150, QS8's, and EP500 for HG Cherrry M80's, VP150, QS8's, and TWO EP500's for $2296. Wow that is TEMPTING! It is tax return time right? I think my wife might hurt me.... I've done some searches for the pictures of HG Cherry setups but I'm striking out. I know I've seen plenty. Anyone have a link?
