You probly already know this, but thier is a current limiting switch on the back of you speakers just to the right of the crossover. It's under a black plastic cap, with this switch put to the normal position that parasound should never have any trouble. It is a very durable amp. Even switched to extended it should be able to handle most music. I had a pair of kappa 9's years ago and found that I had to biamp them to get the sound out of them that they are capible of. I has one Bryston 4Bst on them first and had your problems but found positioning was very important, I played with them for a few nights to get them to sound powerful and smooth. Then i bought a second 4Bst and ran then in extended mode and they where incredible. I found they should be for best sound 10-15 feet apart, the distance between the speakers and the primary listing area should be slightly greater than the distance between the speakers. To obtain the lower coloration and excellent stereo imaging position them at least 2-3 feet from walls and corners, if the bass is a bit light under these conditions, move the speakers slightly closer to one of these boundaries. Moving the the seating position by as little as 6-12 inches forward or back can result in a large diff in bass energy. positiong is very important on these speakers, if not positiond wright they won't have any bass and sound bright and harsh.
I sold the kappa's and now have Infinity 1b's. the brystons could not handle any amounts of volume so I now have Krell and Conrad Jhonson mono blocks. I also spent many nights playing with positioning again, but once you find that sweet spot they are incredible speakers.
