That comes out to 150@8 ohms, though, right?

I forgot which review it was but a professional reviewer used the Onkyo 601 to drive M80's, QS8's, and a VP150. Apparently the reciever powered the system just fine. The 502 may be a different story.

So you're safe with both the M80s and the M60s! Nice amp, btw.

It (the Rotel) doesn't break a sweat driving the M80's.But it also helps I put in an Outlaw ICBM in between the pre and amp.I have the crossover set at 60hz so the amp doesn't have to reproduce any real low material.And thanks.

I was curious about this amp. Some reviews including stereophile(which I'm skeptical about after reading through some of the reviews) say it's lifeless at low volumes and lacks body.. what do you think of this amp?

Hell man I don't listen to anything stereophile says.I'm sure there are better amps out there but I like it.It was between this and Parasound and I picked this.It has plenty of punch and the sound stage sounds good to me.Try it yourself and see what you think.Lacks body what exactly is that suppose to mean anyway.Do you think it would lack anything more or less than any good ss amp would.They also said there isn't another amp at twice the price they would rather own.

Thanks, makes sense, and as usual, stereophile seems to not make sense.. I've got to find a shop around here that sells stuff but entry level 5.1 yamaha receivers.
