Note that the P5 is $5k but the P2 stereo amp is only $2k MSRP.
If this amp is only for the M80s...that price for the power rating is quite good. A Bryston equivalent would be much higher.
Coda amps might be another possibility. This is by far the most rock solid amp i've used. It ran cooler than my fridge while pushing 108dB at 10 feet on the Tannoys for about 3 hours. I believe most are Class A/AB. The one i had was used for 2k.

LOL No question is dumb at this point, yes, after weeks of tweaking between tests, I'm back to running the M80's for the front and center channel in large mode, this final decision was aided by Alan, as he agreed with me, with the M80's and my ear, I can not detect any big differance, and it just seems to be a tad better when set to large. Besides, got tired of trying to compare large/small setting. <g>
Also becasue of using the stero 7 mode for most of the music listening during the day well being all over the house, I have found I do need amps for rears same as for the fronts and center, kinda of hard to explain, but the way the speakers are set up here, and the mere voulme of area, need a lot of power.

You are looking at all very good quality equipment, hey, instead of those slip-in/under powered "butkickers" I let the subs kick my butt. I like sunfires 5 yr. parts and LABOR warr.

I just figured you probably wouldn't need so much power if you set 'em to "small"

I could only be so lucky. LOL This is a pain, but I know when I have the new power in and everything is working correctly, all the porblems will be more than worth the effort, the Axioms are the best speakers I have had in 40 years of playing with audio products. I thought my M & K's were great back in 1985, but as I told Alan, this are far superior, especailly for the price. Back to research, checking into a possible good price on B & K on eBay, thanks to joninflordia, I have been so brain dead, did not check eBay in the last week.

If I can get the price of the Halo A51,A23, and the C2 down a few grand, Im still thinking its my first choice. Only problem is I'm not into buying used, so it could take sometime to get all 3 pieces new from shopping around.
