Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help


VPI Prime----Ortofon Black Quintet (low output moving coil cart)-----Plinius Koru Phono Pre( loading at 20 ohms/gain at 66 db)-----Parasound Halo Integrated -----Martin Logan Montis speakers which have powered bass cabinets.

Using any other source component I have absolutely no issues. When I play an LP and increase the volume past 10 O'clock which is a little loud....but not ridiculously loud-I at times get this huge wave of bass distortion. I do have bass controls on the Montis's...and I have turned them down into the negative, but I still get what I previously described occasionally. 

Any and all help would be appreciated. This doesn't always happen, but its frequent enough to drive me crazy.

Thanks in advance.

Even though my turntable was on a wall bracketed shelf, I still got air-bourne feedback. The woofers, especially my subwoofers, would be oscillating, and I also saw my tonearm bouncing up and down -- not out of the groove, but it was pretty peculiar to watch.

I used a KAB rumble filter, added more methods of isolation under the turntable, even between the wall bracket and the wall itself. The only other thing that comes to mind is isolating your turntable in another room, but then you would have to get up everytime to tend to it.

Best to you in your rumble and feedback endeavors -- hope you can solve your problem.
