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?

You'll need to figure out whether you are over driving your woofers excursion limits or if you are sending your amp into clipping or a combination of both.
It would most likely be beneficial to switch to a speaker that has more bass output than your current to suite your taste.

A few options that I can think of...
If your a bass head and like to crank...
Cerwin Vega,  if you want a bit more refinement
Klipsch and if you want to stay in big boy territory
Legacy...... or add a subwoofer and cross your Dali's so that they see 100hz and above and let the sub do the bass duties.
I hope this helps, Tim
