Is my amp clipping?


I'm having a problem with my tweeter at moderetly loud levels (95db at listening position). Whenever there is a somewhat dynamic song -- with decent base -- the tweeter crackles and pops.

Speakers are 850 Rockets (91.5 Efficiency) from AV123 driven by Belles 350A Reference. Could the amp actually be clipping at such moderate volume levels?

If not the amp, could it be my Oppo CD player?

I remember my Levinson CD player used to make a downright horrible noise (through the speakers). If I turned it off then tried to play it without waiting about 30 minutes, sounded like all hell breaking loose.
The dealer I bought it from said: Oh yeah, this is "normal".
