That will narrow it down to your system probs or the original speaker problem.

If you still have problems with the lender speaker, it's your system... if not, it's the original speaker.
Problem is, my dealer doesn't have any other Monitor 3 v3 in stock. This was the last pair. When he orders again it will be a v4 model. And if I want those, I have to pay for them before he orders - which I don't really like, but oh well.

Otherwise he is accommodating in changing out the tweeter, etc. I am going to ask him about the crossover today.

I know it isn't the system that is causing this. When I swap in my older pair of energy speakers, this noise doesn't exist. And the other Monitor speaker doesn't do it either.
