You keep playing it loud to determine the limits and then you hit a limitation and you don't know what to do.
It's possible that at that high current your amps may be running out of power if they are on 15 amp circuits.
Also, the amps may be running out of juice if any other component is drawing power from/sharing the same circuit as your amps.
Also, the amps may be running out of juice if the amps are sharing the same circuit.
Each amplifier should be on it's own dedicated 20 amp circuit and circuit breaker.
I've been informed that if you have a high powered amp, that a 15 amp circuit at the service panel can actually limit the current to the amp acting as a govenor. Even if that's not true, you should still have 10 gauge wiring, 20 amp wall outlets, and a 20 amp circuit breaker at the service panel for each amplifier. At your volume levels you're liable to trip the circuits or start a fire.
Nevertheless, since you insist on playing your system at full volume (even tho you won't admit it), you should dump whatever amps you have at the moment and pick up the used McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe Rev A that's for sale right now on audiogon.
Most amps start straining or getting congested at higher volumes, but, as Internation Audio Review pointed out, this one stays clean, clear, and unflustered.
