Like John said, wiring in series can sometimes do weird things do to impedance and frequency.
The m80 impedance curve from www.speakermeasurements.com looks fairly tame, though.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you won't know what will happen until you try it.

What's wrong with using the B channel? Doesn't the Denon have multiroom? Just put the things in the same room. Hooking up the speakers in series seems a bad idea to me.

Ken, that could work, except that JB is already using all 7 of his amp channels in a 7.1 setup. He could re-assign the back surround amps to multi-zone and use them to drive the second set of M80s in the same room, but then he'd lose the 7.1 back surrounds.

Oh. Right. I guess I should have reread the post.
In that case, I'd say an external amp (s) are the way to go. I just don't like the idea of putting them in series or parallel.
Or, Amie could pop in with info about the M90s!

We covered the wiring of speakers in parallet and series awhile back -->
Click Here
Wiring speakers in parallel will give you a 2 ohm load - might work if you had a Bryston Amp. Wiring in series will have an effect on your impedence and frequency. See Alan's notes on the second page of the post.
I like the stacking idea - reminds me of, I believe it was Infinity, reference Speaker - with 75 drivers or something insane like that. Maybe you could stack them with a swivel in the centre - you'd have a set of Extreme Bose cubes - with sound actually worth listening to...
