Plug in preamp while amp is on caused very loud pop on speaker.

Did something really stupid this past weekend when I tried to rearrange the power cords and cables.  Unplugged my preamp while leaving the amps on and when I plugged back the preamp there was a very loud pop coming from my speakers.  The speakers played fine but is there any thing I should be concerned about the potential damage to the speakers?  Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

@bstatmeister: thanks!  Yes I was aware of the turning on sequence but completely forgot my amps were still on after done rearranging the cables.

@rodman99999 : Thanks for your response!  Yes it did sound right without any distortion of any sort.  I was just concerned if the drivers were cracked or is out of alignment.  The pop was so loud that it causes an immediate chill to my spine(hence a spike of my stress level) when that happened.

@dunedain might want to check with the manufacture if the logic of orders reverse during power on and power off.  If the trigger functionality is provided for preamp and amp the manufacture should already take the sequence during on and off operation into account.
