@ Chris - Thanks! I suspected there might be more potential interference
problems using long runs from the pre-outs.

@ Mark, Chris & Murph - It's definitely music coming from the center M22 but it's
very faint. I'm off this Friday so I'll see if it happens again and try to
find the source.

The first time I heard it I thought it was coming from outside but when I
walked to the various windows it got softer. I finally figured out it was
the center speaker. I didn't give it much more thought since it was
inaudible with anything playing. However, it may become a factor if I run
long wires from the pre-outs.

@ Michael - If I do buy a separate amp for the front speakers it will likely
be something like the XPA-3 so it can power all 3 M80s. That's why I'm so
interested in how it works out for your M80s. Though it's looking like I
won't be needing anywhere near that much power so now I'm looking at what
other amp specs and design factors might play a more important role in my
situation. I'm sure I will have more questions about that.
