Computer speakers pop from every electrical change in the house.

I absolutely LOVE my Klipsch Promedia 2.1's, but one thing about the setup annoys me. They seem to be super sensitive to any electrical change in the house, turning on and off lights (especially bathroom lights), sends a noticeable pop through the speakers. The most noticeable pop occurs when I turn on my Headphone Amp which shares a desk with the speakers (though the speakers are on a separate surge protector).

Can I use anything to clean the power going into the speakers? (Short of an expensive home theater power cleaner)

Are they plugged into a surge protector. If not then get one. Everything conencted to and including your PC should be on a surge supressor. If you already have it on one then there is a chance that the speakers don't have adiquate EMI sheilding.

I have the same issue with one set of speakers but not the other. They're both plugged intro APC surge suppressors.
