once my avr get to certain sound level it seems to back off the sound quality. Is this normal?

The XPA-1 is a 500 watt monoblock, not an AVR.   Good grief, there is no way it should clip going into a speaker as sensitive as a RF-7 III, in a room that size --- maybe you are using an AVR as a preamp, going from the "pre outs" to the XPA-1s ... is that the case?

 

To answer your question, there would be a gradual increase in distortion as you turn the sound up.   But that should be barely audible (below clipping) if audible at all.  So it's not normal.

yamaha rx-a2060, it does it with ypao on or off

 

In addition to regular YPAO your receiver also has YPAO Volume, Eco Mode, High-Resolution Music Enhancer, etc.  Somewhere in the receiver there's a setting that's turned on that's causing what you're hearing.

I don’t know how loud you’re listening, but don’t get carried away. I’ve lost count of the number of customers I had that wore hearing aids because of the constant abuse they exposed their ears to. 

 

Also, power compression. There is a point at which your speakers don’t really get any louder, but just turn everything into heat and waste amplifier power. The eventual result is driver failure.
