Unhappy Mark Levinson pops out!

Hey folks,
I do have an issue on my 450h with ML from 2006...
If I go over volume 30 my Speakers will make an awful pop and stop plaing music but then recover smoothly again - it is a metter of seconds.
I changed my ML Amp with one with 5 channels from a GS 300 - it seemed to work properly but after going on the autobahn it did the exact same thing again!
So I suppose that my old Amp works correctly but I do not know what to do next -
I hope you can help me out , at least you have more experience than here in Germany with ML Systems!
If you already solved a simmilar cause I am really sorry for spamming but I couldnt find something for the GS!

Thanks !

I am going to give you something to try out. I had a faulty center speaker in my ML system, sometimes when i crank up the volume, all speakers stop working. the way i made sure its not the amp is by changing the speaker balance (in the audio option) and moving the crossed bars in a way to not use the center speaker and since then i didnt have that problem anymore.

now in your situation, start activating only the front speakers (by moving the horizontal bar to the top) and see if you still have a problem, if not then activate the rear speakers only. and keep narrowing what is activated until you know if it is one of your speakers or not. I hope I explained this clearly.

Well, I disconnected it, it is sitting there unplugged. these speakers are expensive and so far, the sound is great without it. However, I am planning to replace it down the road.
