Warf, welcome. It's uncertain what you mean by "clipping out"; to me those two words imply different things, similarly to Tom. Clipping is a particular type of distortion, while "out" implies that the receiver shuts itself off. Check and reconnect all speaker wires in case there's a loose strand. Have all speakers set "small" with an 80Hz crossover. The 4802 is a very powerful receiver and the Axioms that you have aren't particularly hard to drive. Note that prolonged listening at over 90dB causes hearing loss. If you use a sound meter,what does it show?
