Dunlavys need a VERY large room to breathe, especially the V's and the V1's. I would suspect that your up-line components are also NOT up to the task of driving the speakers well and frankly agree with the other posters.
If you have a VERY large room, maybe the amp is straining to drive the speakers resulting in distortion.
