My speakers work fine with 3 per channel, but they are about 97 db 1 watt/1 meter. The output impedance does get raised so with certain speakers you might introduce a coloration.

I think I'm going to use the M60s as is and just enjoy the music. To my ears your amps and Merlin VSMs are about as good as it gets. Looking forward to the 3.1 upgrade.

Great amp, if you have enough ventilation in your room.
