why distortion and what is the cure

Hi , this is my 1st post so go easy pls!!
I have an old sugden a21 amp and a crap pair of celestion F2 f/standers - 87db / 8ohm. When i turn up the amp past about 1 oclock the sound just breaks up/distorts.This also happened with a MF b1 amp. Is it the speakers or the amps that are faulty? I am thinking of getting the A28 sugden as i like the sugden sound and if it is the speakers at fault can anyone suggest Fstanders to partner? (under $700 s/h pls )

The answer would be easy if you were using a turntable: there is a point where the SPL in the room is causing the TT to go into feedback. The solution is to separate/isolate the TT from the speakers.
BUT, if you are using a CD as the source, then there are (too)many possible answers.
