Yea, they are a PITA to take apart.

Been fiddling some more, and it may be indeed mechanical noise caused by vibration. I'm thinking where the bass panels push up against the treble panels? Maybe a felt piece between the two would fix?

Anyway, some long weekends ahead, taking stuff apart. And you're correct, they sound glorious!

Static electricity maybe?

  But why is it 'inside' the speaker, or got anything to do with a transient of music? I do need to check the ground wire on that power cord and/or on the power plugs.
  
  the air is extremely dry now in the basement. The chair I listen in is very deep, and when I slide my butt out of it I have a hell of a charge on me. the first thing I touch, I'll get zapped. I've touch the computer (music file server) and shut it down. Thankfully nothing damaged. Of course I'm not touching anything when the pop occurs.
  
  During other times of the year the static isn't bad. But the past week or so (when I started noticing the problem) it's been terrible. Another thing I need to do is bring the speaker(s) upstairs in the house to see if the condition changes. No room for them upstairs day-in/day-out. These things are BIG.
