You'll never hear the pops that way.
This order of operations specifically avoids all such issues, on purpose.
Least you could do is maybe to totally power off your speakers when plugging unplugging live inputs/interface?
Also best practice is reversing steps to power down and disconnect, i.e. #5, #4, #3, #2, #1, then you're done.

Indeed, speakers on last and off first has been SOP for decades(I have a second power strip mounted in a rack to power up speakers, lava lamps and other stuff). Beyond that, you can power the Mbox(or connect it) after the computer boots.
I also have the computer, screens and interface fed by an APC UPS for protection and keep the speakers on a separate AC connection(if the power goes out, I don't need speakers to save/close and shut down the system)
