Help: Classe CAV75 problem?

Hi,
I had a Classe CAV75 (6 channels) bridged to 3 channels, and here is the problem. My speakers make a sound every time I turn off the amp. The sound is like gun shooting in Star War movie or in another words it's like a capacitor discharging (high requency sound). Called Classe and they said that it's the design problem.
So, my questions are does any CAV75 owner has the same problem or it's just my unit? Will this noise damage my speaker?
Thanks for your help

Hi Worldcup,
The noise you are describing also happens with my CAV-150.I also heard the same noise on a model CAV-150 that I took home for a demo from a dealer. Obviously, it's not just your unit. One question, when you spoke with Classe', did they actually say it was a design "problem" or just inherent in that particular design? Regardless of that little quirk, I still very much like the sound of the CAV- 150!
