Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater No M80's for me

What a bummer, I can't get the M80's, I sent an email to Brent and he advised that my Yamaha 661 is not good enough to run them. He said that the power supply in the yammie is not the best and it would over heat and shut down.

But, it's not all bad news I bought the EP500 instead.

I wanted to get a new receiver early in the new year anyway, this will give me a better excuse for the wife

Congrats on the EP500 . A good subwoofer is a huge upgrade . Enjoy the sounds of accurate bass!

Thanks Doc

Maybe I should play mine louder in the meantime to make up for it.

Hate to disagree with Brent, but I am sure I have read somewhere that somebody is running the 661 with M80s with no troubles, it just depends on how loud you want it to go, I am quite sure that for most listening levels the 661 would work fine.

Anyway Congrats on the new purchase!!.

Congrats on the EP500 purchase.

I hear this happens when they're underpowered... http://www.geekologie.com/2008/12/dont_stand_too_close_the_cucko.php

Most any receiver will work with 80's, the question is to what volume you push it before it protects itself.

Just add two Outlaw monoblocks for the front channels if necessary!

Graeme, the reply that you got from Axiom on that point is absurd.
