Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please.
If 100W is enough, a really compact and good class D is the AGD Tempo di Gan.  It may have more immediate availability than the Atmasphere monoblocks.

Do another swop L-R of cables from the preamp to the amp.  If it moves the problem is the preamp, if it stays put it's the amp.  You're already ruled out the source units and the speakers.  One more to go.  
What Gear is Universally Adored?
I think you're really reaching with "universally".  I can't think of a single component, save a single brand, that some audiophile somewhere wouldn't turn their nose up at.  Because they're a picky bunch.

Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
