Clipping?

High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

I've had my '85 Cornwalls for 16 years now. I recently purchased a fully reconditioned Pioneer SA8800 integrated (looks like it was built yesterday). I've been enjoying the improved bottom end I get vs my 17-year-old Jolida 502B, though I certainly think the Jolida beats it hands down in the midrange. Anyway, when the meters on this thing reach their 80 watt peak, I seem to be hearing these soft hand claps in the background. I thought I was imagining it at first, but the more I've played around, it's there. Is that clipping? I never got any kind of intrusive noise with my 60-watt rated Jolida. It just got a little fuzzy when pushed. And despite the soft low end, I think my Jolida plays louder. Tubes vs Solid State?
