Unplugging amp while it is still on, damage?


Last night I was moving some things around and forgot that I had left my amp on, I unplugged the power cable. At the time I didnt notice what had happened. But I realized when I plugged it back in! Two very loud thumps to my speakers, I looked to my amp and to my horror finally realized that it was on. Everything else was turned off mind you.

Did this damage anything? How can I check?

I should have specified that this is a integrated amp, a portal Panache to be exact. This amp does make a loud thump when turned on, which is normal. I guess unplugging it while on and plugging back in would be essentially the same as turning it on? The speakers work and the amp seems fine...
