That might be the way I go, Mojo. I'm not sure how the new 180 will sound with the Studio 80s. I may end up going that route before the end of the month.

Unlike Rebulx's room, the M100s will shine in yours.

Hey RJ. Go for M3s if you're not using subs. The M3s sound like your N3. The M2s sound like the N2...which I think you didn't like, right?

I can attest to the M100 shining in any room you place them in!!!

With EQ in my basement, the M100s were the highest fidelity I ever heard. The actives are total suspension of disbelief with no EQ required.

Mojo, with the actives having their own dedicated 5 channel amp is a high powered receiver/power amp necessary for the rest of the channels?

It depends on a few variables.
My mid-level, circa-2012 Onk is capable of producing about 240W clean peaks into any two channels simultaneously. When I'm watching a movie from 14 feet away, my two side QS10s could be pushed to 300W peaks each. That's because I have them wide open (not crossed to the sub). If I had them crossed at 40Hz, they'd maybe see 50W peaks. If I had them crossed at 80Hz, then even less power would be needed.
You can see all the factors that go into answering your question. I'd say if you are powering as many as 7 surrounds, and are crossing them over at 80Hz, you should have no problem powering them with a mid-level receiver.

I was looking at the denon avr-x6500h which would be much more budget friendly vs a power amp.
