I own a pair of MS-80s. They sound really great, but have almost no volume.

Are they really that quiet? I heard that they weren't something you'd use to get loud in any aspect of the word.

However I also heard that the sound quality is unreal.

They sound incredible, but you won't get any thump out of them.

are they power hungry? Some subs have low sensisitity. My JL Audio 18W6's were somewhat mellow with only 225 watts rms, boy did they ever wake up when I put 1200 watts rms in them

I put 2.5x the suggested power to the MS80.. surprisingly, I didn't damage them. But they were still just a fart in the wind.
