Occasional buzzing out of left channel

I'm trying to isolate a problem with my left channel where I get occasional bursts of crackling/distortion. Speaking honestly, I don't know if it's an amp problem or speaker problem (or cables!) so I may have the wrong forum.

What I've done so far is to switch inputs on the integrated (Denon PMA2000R) from the CD input to an AUX input. No good. I only have one set of binding posts on the amp so I can't switch those.

I don't have spare gear, but I'm willing to invest in or borrow whatever I need to isolate the problem but I'm wondering where I should start. Should I try speaker cables first, then interconnects, then amp, then speakers?

Any help would be appreciated and I apologize if I've posted in the wrong forum. Thanks!
