I have a Pioneer 2x75watt receiver and 2 sony speakers that allegedly handle 200watts (I say allegedly because I am doubtful they can actually handle that much). When the amp's volume control is turned more than halfway up, I have to disable the amp's S-bass feature, or else the bass will be distorted. When the receiver's volume is over 3/4 up, I need to turn down the bass output, or else the bass will sound terrible. I need to be able to make the bass louder to overcome the loudness of my guests (60+ people in a small room are very loud). Do I need to replace the receiver, the speakers, or both?
