Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. Lower the input signal. Whether your miking the amps or using line out.
Your probably coming in too hot. -10 dbfs max coming into your daws. -18 even better. Then send -3/-5 from your daws monitor/master output to the speakers. Gain structure is key.
That should clear things up.
I also own HS-80's by the way. No issues with any of my guitars.
