sfield,

can you describe your "static" problem a little more? I'm having what I think is a similar problem, most noticable when I'm watching something w/ vocals. When someone raises their voice and shouts there's a "static" sounding crackle at the high part of their voice.

I was thinking I was just being too sensitive and the static crackle was just in the source materials (microphones or something), but you and the other post (which sounds EXACTLY like my problem) have me thinking.

I know it's not my speakers, because I had the same problem w/ my last set of speakers (paradigm studio series) and my new set (VMPS RM-40s).

I do however have my ICBM sitting on top of my 950 and my Denon DVD player (which gets pretty hot) on the shelf underneath.
