Loud thud heard through speakers


Noticed a weird sound while listening to music today. A loud thud through the speakers during loud vocal passages. I'm not sure what's causing it but happened twice and on different records. One was Muddy Waters Folk Singer and the other Dire straits Brother in arms. 

Amplifier: Graaf GM50BSpeakers: Wilson Benesch ACTSubwoofer: Sumiko S9
At this time I'm not sure of it's the Sub or the Speakers. Did anyone experience anything like this before?

I noticed yesterday a thud through the speakers when I turned the electric oven off in the kitchen, which is around 8m from the turntable. No record was playing at the time but the MC phonostage was selected and I’d left the volume turned quite high. I used to get a similar noise in my last place when the fridge compressor started up. I think it stopped when I had a dedicated spur fitted but that coincided with moving the system 4m further away. I also used to pick up some radio broadcast in Russian at a low level but that stopped when I replaced my Target rack with something less metallic.
