Thanks Alan and Chris.
The power might very well be the reason I experiencing this blurriness. Just for reference, my knob on the AVR was around -8dB and is was driving 2xM80s and the VP180, the Denon was pretty hot. I usually don't have it at this level unless in another room. I wasn't aware of this "incipient clipping", I just knew of the chopping clipping that I experienced once when I had the knob at +5dB and since then I set the receiver to the max on the knob being 0 in case the teenage daughter decides to crank it up as I never heard chopping at this level. I understand that the chopping can damage the tweeters but can this incipient clipping damage them too? Should I lower even more the max level on the receiver?
