Is my amp clipping?


I'm having a problem with my tweeter at moderetly loud levels (95db at listening position). Whenever there is a somewhat dynamic song -- with decent base -- the tweeter crackles and pops.

Speakers are 850 Rockets (91.5 Efficiency) from AV123 driven by Belles 350A Reference. Could the amp actually be clipping at such moderate volume levels?

If not the amp, could it be my Oppo CD player?

Damage is done, your amp may or may not have clipped at one time but I bet your teeter is in need of replacement.

Not a crackle or pop but more a digital burp, churp that isnt easy for me to describe but I think you will now what it is when you hear it. Its like the old quote from the Supreme Court if I recall it went "While I dont know how to define Pornography I know it when I see it"
