HELP-Maggie IIIa's are crackling at high frequency


I have newly refurbished IIIa's. The refurbishing was done by a trusted third party tech. I noticed the high frequency once before when using my Nuera 3300pp integrated but only on ONE record so I chocked it up as a flaw in the record. But just this weekend I went up to a AR V70 power amp and an AR SP-6b pre and its more prevalent than ever. I am not a "loud" listener and I here this "crackling" on the high end of classical female vocalists the most. I have read that people push the maggies as far as to blow the fuses before they get any distortion. This amp combo sounds like it would blow me away but I can't hear past the distortion! Any advice would be awesome and much appreciated, Thank you.

You could have a bad ribbon tweeter, (or two) and/or the wires have delaminated. The repair tech might not have gotten them completely glued down. It's a major ordeal to reglue the wires, I know, I've done it several times.

You could also have a crossover problem. Lots of things to check and troubleshoot...
