Thanks for the detailed info, I'm taking a printout of your post with me when I go back!

Just so that I have extra ammunition for my next showdown with the installer:

Am I correct in thinking that if the pop was coming from the empeg's shielding it would very likely be amplified by the amplifier?

What I mean by this is that the pop's loundness is independent of volume setting on the empeg or gain setting on the amp, so that if the empeg is playing loud enough I can't hear the pop at all.

Wouldn't that indicate something between the amp and the speakers?
