crackling noise at high volume


and its not my Rice Crispies ... when I turn it up to 1pm on my Bryston B60, feeding my Totem Arros, it breaks up. This is pretty much the highest volume/decibel level I could possibly push this system to. WHen its medium loud, no problems.

Any ideas who is at fault here?

If they don't seem to sound different you've probably done no damage, but repeating that exercise will surely kill them eventually.
I've done it twice to my own pair of Arro's, fortunatly with no negative long term effects.
In one instance I was driving them too hard, in another I carelessly switched sources with the volume up(I NEVER did that again!)
