Hey, they charged me $2,700 for my 4 grand worth! Maybe I should ask for a free shirt.

For how much I spent on the A1400-8, two EP-500s, M80s, VP-150, etc, etc, I think Ian should have sent me the shirt off his back.
Instead of sending me his shirt, or any shirt, for that matter, Axiom made up with outstanding customer service when they helped with my amp at 9:30p on a holiday, making sure it had the paperwork at customs, replacing the first amp, shipping the second EP-500 next day for two-day delivery when they missed shipment same day, sending me a new power cord for the EP-500, offering to repair the grill on a Michaura M55 at cost, answering contless questions, and so on. So, Ian can keep his shirt, because I have been more than happy with what I got instead.

John, as a consumer, are you not aware you are always to want more and are never supposed to be happy.

I can offer no better advice than what has already been given.
But I will point out that M80's are 4-ohm speakers. You probably knew that. Are you sure that your 94TXH can handle 4-ohm speakers? Being that's it's Pioneer's flagship AVR, I'd bet money that it *can*, but it's possible that it can't.
I am currently still using a Pioneer Elite 43TX as a prepro. It is at least 2 (3?) generations older than your 94, so it's nowhere near as modern and nice as what you have. But it was a $1,500 AVR in its heyday too, and it has been my experience that my 43 cannot effectively power my M80's at loud (>90db) volume levels, especially when running in full-range mode. An amp that was rated to handle 4-ohm speakers was required.

Sounds good John, keep it up I think we haven't hijacked this thread enough yet, still too close to topic.

Oh, the 94 has the power to run everything and it is 4 ohm stable....no problem. At -15db setting on the dial its enough to make the neighboors mad. At 0 on the dial you can no longer function and your vision goes blurry.
hijack away you anklebitters
