Which monitors do you have? I have the 7s and I can take it all the way to about 125db without any distortion. It may be that you are driving your receiver to the limits of it's amplification, where you would typically get distortion....Tony

In most cases having more power is better than having less. If your distorting it's most likely your amp.
But to play loud and clean you do need speakers that can handle it. Usually better costs more to, but you can get away with some louder sound with klipshs if your amp purchase doesn't fix the problem.
Deaf by 40... theres an awesome plan!
Good luck

I have the Denon 3801 receiver and Paradigm Reference Studio 100's and it sounds great even at very high levels. I would say that the problem is with your speakers. The Denon 5800 is an awsome receiver but you would be spending the money more wisely to upgrade your speakers instead of buying the 5800 right now. I think you would end up with the same problem you have now. The 3801 is definitely good enough to drive the monitor series speakers.
