Power on popping sound


Hi Everyone!

Why does the left speaker always make a "pop" noise when the amp powers up?  Also, after preamp and amp are powered up there is a low buzz coming from the left speaker.  Not sure if I can hear the buzz from the right speaker.

The left speaker also makes a "whoosh" sound when powering off the amp.  

Getting paranoid about speaker damage.

Gear:
Speakers:                    Ologe 5 (Same thing happens with my LS 50 passives)
Amp:                            Forte Audio 1A 
Temporary preamp:     ADA Suite 8x8 - (I might pick up an Audible Illusion Modulus 2B but am open to suggestions.)
I also swapped in my Fostex HP A8 as a preamp and got the same popping and buzzing.
Rocket 88 speaker cables

Thanks!

Love your Audible Illusions choice. If you are patient you can get a newer
3 series for $1,000-$1400. Not sure what the 2 series go for. I bought one in November on a tip from a wise man. Very Musical.
