Of course, if you push them past their output limits, they'll get edgy or clip.
That can be said for any amp.

At Axiom, our chief R&D electronics engineer, Tom Cumberland, who designed amps for Macintosh, Outlaw, Harman/Kardon, Luxman and others...
Just one more reason to want an A-1400 Amp!

Well I guess that cleared things up. Thank you Allan for your input. I have gone ahead with the EP500. Early in the new year I will look at getting another receiver and then I will get the M80's. I just have to wait a little longer. Thank you to everyone who replied

Well, after Alen's reply I went back to Audioholics, and it turns out that it was the 659 that was well reviewed in the power department.
I need to stop relying on my memory for these things.

If memory serves, do I need to leave it a tip?
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Graeme expanding with what Wid stated earlier you really don't have to buy a new AVR to run a pair of 80s if you are satisfied with all of the processing accessories your Yamaha now provides, you might find that for less than what you can buy a capable AVR you'll be able to buy either a 2-channel amp or a pair of monoblocks to drive the 80s and let the Yamaha do all of the processing, ezpz. I run my system with an additional 2 ch amp pre-outed from my AVR and there are at least a couple of folks around these parts that do the same, there are benefits to running a system like this IMO.

Rick I am getting the new receiver so I can enjoy Dolby HD etc. For once I would like to have a few bells and whistles it has been a long time coming and a great struggle to save the money(very limited income). I am also lucky that I have a wife that understands what this means to me, even though she is quite happy listening to just a tv set.

Graeme, it's good that you'll be able to get a new receiver with the features that you want, but in the meantime, as was already said, there's no good reason to assume that the 661 wouldn't power M80s to a degree that would be satisfactory to you. You shouldn't deny yourself the speakers that you really want.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
