Tried that. Lowered the level for the center and rears quite substantially, still, same gross distortion. Can't reproduce it on my other amp. I'm going to try running audyssey again I guess.

All I can guess is that this amp is capable of showing me the crap I have in my system.

The plan is to follow up with some axiom qs8's and a vp180, when I can afford it.

I hope that fixes the problem. If not, then it's most likely a problem with the amp itself.

This distortion I'm talking about it is quite noticeable and nasty
