It would be helpful if you'd describe the "static" in a little more detail -- like between stations on a tuner (white noise), or more of a snapping sound (electrical discharge) or hum/buzz (like transformer or motor EMI) Anyway, you stated:
"I switched around the mono amps and then the static came out of the other speaker so I know the problem is not the speakers."
OK. Did you leave all power cords, interconnects and speakers cables in their initial positions when you swapped the amps? If you did, and the static sound still follows one of the amps, then you'd have to suspect that it's the amp driving whichever speaker (L or R) has static coming out of it. Could be a loose connection in amp's manufacture that's picking up RFI. Frankly I'd be more suspicious of the amp if it were a tube amp. In fact you might want to try swapping just the two single tube in each amp, leaving the amps themselves in place. Sometimes tubes can be susceptable to RFI (from your TV) and though I kind of doubt that's the problem, you should rule it out. Also, don't forget that although it's a (less RFI-prone) SS amp, in the case of the Lamm, circuit ground and earth (chassis) ground are separate, so a bad tube or defective cable could be more noticeable.
All that said, if you DID leave all cabling in place and then the static DIDN'T follow the amp swap, then it's a faulty cable. Try swapping them, one type/pair at a time until the static follows one of the cable swaps.
If the problem were the TV (sending out unusually/illegally high RFI or digital hash) it seems to me you should be getting the "static" on both channels. Hope this helps.
