They are new triple pane windows in an energy efficeint house it has nothing to do with the windows it has to do with to much humidity in a house in very cold winter climates ...
If your windows accumulate moisture on the inside during the winter, there is something wrong with the windows, or the glass within them, or the way the windows were installed.  It doesn't matter if they are quintuple-pane, or built yesterday. Don't take my word for it, even though I've lived in cold climes all my life.  Check the window warranty. Consult with an expert.
I did consult with an expert that’s why I know it was the whole house humidifier keeping the house to humid the expert switched the hunidistat from manual to automatic and it was a miracle no more ice on the windows.
The expert also informed me I was probably getting ice in the walls as well that's why it's best to let the humidistat control the humidity as it adjusts for outside temperature changes. 
Thanks to all. I'm in Fl so with the a/c it's usually 38 to 46% sometimes lower in the winter.
You must run your A/C almost non-stop if you're achieving those levels in FL. You might want to check the accuracy of your hygrometer. Normal "comfort zone" is between 40 and 60%, above that exists high potential for mold, below that leads to static and greater potential for airborne illness. The important thing for speakers is to avoid sudden, large shifts in relative humidity, this is especially true for cabinets constructed of solid wood or plywood.
