Hi Bob, sometimes a mismatch between your pre/out voltage and the voltage gain of the amp cause the situation you are experiencing . If you pre out voltage is too low it will be unable to drive your amp to full power. You may also be driving your pre outs to clipping while trying to get your amp to max power which can introduce distortion at high volumes. It is sometimes difficult to find exact specs for a receiver's output specs. You can find the voltage gain of the amp on Axioms site, they say 2.0v for full power so really you should have no problems with most modern receivers,tell us what u have. Also remember that todays volume controls are logarithmic rather than linear so they react differently. Best to look that one up on google smile . If you can hit the volume you like without distortion then you are good to go, in they end they are just numbers.
