What receiver and mains do you have? Your receiver should definitely not be clipping unless it is overmatched on the other channels. I think the QS8's are 6 ohm so they shouldn't be a problem for most current HT receivers.

Maybe you should check out the Outlaw Monoblocks discussed here.

btw, not sure what is causing the problem that audiofan is experiencing, but my experience with Outlaw is that they have great build quality and their cust svc is on a par with Axiom.
