I appreciate everyone's advice.

Just to make sure we are clear. They have never said it was my speakers. Dan and Mark from AV123 have been in this business for over 30 years and I'm pretty confident that he is being honest.

The amp IS giving me 300 watts RMS into 4ohms. Their top engineers, while Bugbitten was at their facility can prove this time and time again with any of the amps they test.

They are NOT defective, whatever you think. It has all been explained above. Any amp WILL clip if driven past its limits, I don't care if you have a Rotel or whatever. You say yours did not clip, what facts or equipment do you have to back that statement.

My little Denon will also go past the same volume point, but start to sound like crap and you can tell it is straining/clipping. The Emotiva sounds like many more expensive amps I've heard upto the point that you've reached its limits, then the built in protection kicks in, not sure why that is a defect.

Bugbitten, I'm anxious the hear about your recent visit.
