I have a set of actively biamped Magnepan IIIas and had a similar issue you described. I was using an ART active crossover but with power amps that only can use unbalanced connections. I then had to use a balanced to unbalanced adapter which over time created a similar crackling sound you described. If any of your connections use a balanced to unbalanced adapter, it may be that is the cause of what you are hearing. And even though I thought it would be a channel/connection issue, this configuration with the adapters followed the speaker that seemed to dislike this balanced/unbalanced configuration. I ended up ridding my problem by changing to an active crossover that didn't require me to use a balanced adapter.
