Please forgive me if any of what I'm asking is redundant - I just want to make sure it's clear to everyone exactly what troubleshooting steps you've taken.
You stated that this problem has persisted thru several component configurations, but it's not clear whether each component was taken out of the loop at some point. For example, was the same amplifier present every time the problem occurred? Another way of asking this is whether, thru process of elimination, you have determined with 100% certainty that the problem is not confined to any one component?
-Were the main (Salk) speakers taken out of the loop at some point (does the problem reproduce when only the Totems are connected)?
-You say the problem goes away when you power everything down, disconnect/reconnect all the cabling before powering up again. How long is the system powered down when you do this? Does the problem not go away if, once the problem manifests, you power down w/o reconnecting everything, leaving the power off for the same amount of time as if you were reconnecting everything?
Going on just the information you've provided thus far, it sounds as though it could be a bad or cold solder joint that's acting up due to thermal or physical stress. If you've been sending this gear out for testing, the problem may not show up unless you're certain that the testers have been allowing the gear to warm up for 30+ minutes before testing, and one of their tests includes listening before and after.
