2X6 the 504 looks just like yours. But again i'm not willing to risk blowing it up. Basically with these old amps..you keep throwing them in protection...NOT good.

The QSC will work..or not..in any case will not blow up the QSC..which i can send back....if it dosen't work with the M80's..then there is a problem with the M80's and i can send them back.

Not real rocket science here...just strait logic. Just not willing to risk the 504, thats all.

Using them at all is going to wear on them, too. As old as it is, it's already well into its life. Protecting your equipment from its own protective measures is fine, but as you mentioned, you don't mind frying a new one that you can then return as faulty. Straitjacket logic, indeed.

Of course, I feel like we're bullying him into trying this test, and we could be jinxing it into blowing up the amp. On second that, I don't mind him buying a new amp and testing it that way, since if it were me, I'd buy a new amp, anyway, even if testing it proved one of the M80s was at fault. I just wouldn't want my nice speakers being powered by such old equipment.

Well the QSC amp, has little or no reason to blow up. It is brand new has way more protection then a 1980 amp. It was built to handle 4 ohm loads. If it shuts down at all...then the speakers are the problem. That amp will put out 700watts at 4 ohms..way more then i would ever need, or anybody could be in the room to hear. The chance of this amp getting toasted...is pretty much nil.....has WAY better protection circuits then the old amp.

Like i said..this is NOT rocket science. It either works or it dosen't.

NOT that I don't think your tests are valid.....just not willing to risk the 504 amp. The M80's are NOT going to damage the QSC...if that amp shuts down...the speakers are at fault..period.

Well, let us know the results
I am not going to suggest to try one speaker, but if they do ( when ) they shut down on the QSC, try the one speaker test and see which one it is wink Doesn't Axiom pay for free shipment back and return if it is faulty?

And I think somewhere there was a list Axiom recommends for Recievers that work great with thier products, I am sure the 504 wasn't listed.

Sometimes great products need tried, tested and proved great products to give ultimate performance. This maybe an example of a F1 car running a race on gasoline and trying to figure out why he never won ?
