I can't believe nobody told you this yet. When you see your M80s for the first time, you're supposed to put on an eye patch and say "Ahoy, M80s!"

J.B., welcome. Glad to read how you're enjoying your Axioms.
Peter and Ken, I perceive that there's a story here that we'd enjoy hearing about in detail?

I just got M80s, too, and I like the sound a lot --- especially the bass. I did already have some subwoofers, but the bass is better, which I guess is due to the mid-bass the M80s are giving me. However, I do have an amplifier problem driving the M80s, since occasionally they drive my Onkyo 3008 into protection mode. The Onkyo 3008 is supposed to drive 4 ohm speakers, and I don't listen at high levels, so this was a surprise to me. And a couple weeks from now, I'm going to replace my VP150 with a VP180, so I suppose the amplifier problem will get worse. Do you think adding an Emotiva XPA-3 to drive the M80s and VP180 will fix this?

No, it's just that that pun was too horrible to go unpunished.

Peter and Ken, I perceive that there's a story here that we'd enjoy hearing about in detail? Ken's the one who introduced me to the art of puncraft. "Always go for subtlety," he would say. "The best puns slip under the radar of those who aren't playing close attention." He was a good teacher, but a little proud. He hasn't been the same since I sure passed his abilities.

Ah, the smell of jealousy.
Wait, no. . .
