I think the 3805 will be fine unless you like it really loud.

I ran the M50's with the 3805 and you will be fine. If you go DB crazy, you may want to add another amp to the fronts but we are talking some serious DB's before you will feel the need for it.

I have the 2805 and M60's and it does fine, I would think the 3805 with more ump, would be just fine.

No, but as we all know, this hobby is all about what you want, not what you need:-)

Is it just me, or does anyone else have a Rolling Stones song going through their head right now?

No, you don't necessarily need amps unless you want cleaner, fuller, and no strained sound at reference levels.
