Pioneer SX-1050 speaker problems

Hi,

total noob here. I recently purchased a pioneer sx-1050. I have an Audio Technica AT-LP120 and DALI Zensor 3 speakers. The receiver is in great condition and sounds fantastic. However, at higher volumes (especially if I have the bass positive) the cones on the speakers vibrate crazily. 

I have tried reconnecting the speakers. I have also tried an external pre-amp but if I turn up the bass even a little (I like heavy bass) then at higher volume the speakers have a fit. I presume I am doing something stupid. Any ideas?

Good choice of receiver!
Please check your turntable for proper VTA/VTF and azimuth. Chances you may be getting rumble that you need to tame. Use 30Hz filter button on and Tone off.
For heavy bass you should purchase a subwoofer. There are plenty of them on the budget that will satisfy your bass urge.
