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?

Thanks Ghost. I had had some worries about the two's compatability but was told not to worry about it. If I do want to do occasional listening at very loud volumes, should I be looking for a better matchup?

Also, has the 4-5 times I've heard this crackling done permanent damage to the speakers?
