Ayre AX-7e Static Discharge


I just got myself a used AX-7e and everything is working perfect. My only question now is everytime i turn off the main power (even after putting the amp on standby), i could hear a whirling sound coming from the amp and there will be a slight static discharge (or a slight thump) coming from the speakers. My guess is its due to the caps discharging but shouln't an amp costing this much have some kind of circuit to eliminate this noise? Or is there something wrong with my amp? Hope someone can help me clarify this issue. I am worried that it may damage my speakers in the long run.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice guys. Let's hope it is nothing too serious. I am all the way from Malaysia and my only concern if i send in the amp is to have the faulty parts replaced with inferior/lower quality parts. Sigh!
